Where is this documented?
And how does it solve the problem?

They "both work the same" _is_ the problem.

If you load a datafile in the "init_xml" (or "data"),
then you change it in the system,
then you update your module:
the init data is reloaded and your changes are overwritten.

I have broken my production system this way.
Fortunately, I knew immediately what had happened and was able to fix it quickly.
Someone who has made many changes over a long period may not be so lucky.

noupdate=True is hard-coded for CSV files but has no effect.
Reports are that setting it for XML files also has no effect.
Only running with --import-partial prevents this.

"init_xml" should never overwrite existing data. Only "update_xml"
should do this (and one should only use it for views and the like, not
data). "init_xml" should not even try to load on updates. Combing them
into one "data" is the opposite of a fix.
