As for wall induced vibrations, I don't know what that is compared to floor induced vibrations and my subwoofer is on the floor.

Different placement locations can have different resonance points. So while there may be an improvement in one area (such as foot traffic), walls usually have a higher resonant frequency than flooring which means the turntable can be more susceptible to acoustic feedback when wall mounted - unless specific steps are taken in the wall construction to prevent it.
Everything is a trade off in audio.
