Installing the stock ROM on a Galaxy Note 9 wipes off everything that was previously running on the phone. So for example, if your phone was rooted previously, the stock firmware installation will unroot the phone. If your phone was lagging or giving a poor battery life, a new firmware can also help you with that. Stock firmware installation also comes in handy when your phone gets caught up in a bootloop.

The Download Mode does not work with software like Samsung Kies or Smart Switch. Now there is another great advantage of installing the firmware manually, you can update your phone.
