Problem is „are you sure you marked for deletion all the correct things” because you could have already deleted it before traveling or moved to other device you don’t travel with.
Selection on border control might be arbitrary, they can hold you or send you back over a photo or something you wouldn’t think should be a problem.
Ideally you would like to have all wiped just in case but then you really stand out…
That's why you do it the other way round: you mark things that you don't want deleted.
That is not really making any difference if you can prepare beforehand
and
you can’t be sure which things can get you in trouble.
It does make a difference: you only mark enough to be kept to make your phone looks like it's in use, as opposed to obviously wiped.
By default, new material will be deleted. So you don't have to prepare again and again.

When in doubt, don't mark it as keep.
