Not really, it just sets the group explicitly rather than implicitly. Without it the socket group is derived from the directory it's created in, which is group wheel to start with.
Now it could be argued that creating the socket in the first place allows members of the wheel group to configure wpa_supplicant and thus connect to a network. I don't see this as a problem myself and I believe that wpa_cli should work by default if wpa is enabled.

This lets any user in wheel group choose to connect to the network. Isn't that more privileges than we normally give?
