Racquet facing opponent vs racquet edge facing opponent in unit turn for Forehand

zill

Legend
Most pros have the racquet edge facing the opponent when making the unit turn. Eg Fed, Nadal, Thiem etc


But Zverev, Gasquet, Mayer, Del Potro do not. They have the racquet face facing the opponent when fully turned intially in their forehand. What are the pros and cons of this?? Why do they do it? In the case of Zverev he still gets plenty of racquet inversion during his swing. Does he do that to prevent too much racquet inversion in his swing? In other words if he had the racquet edge facing the opponent during the unit turn he would get too much inversion in his forehand swing?
