I don't think this is a design matter. It is a matter of the flooring. You tile or whatever and it extends close to the wall - well doesn't matter a lot because vanity it over it. So there makes doing that side of floor easy instead of cutting the tile to fit exactly at vanity. And then that is the next point, what do you do if you get a new vanity? If it isn't the exact same size you would have issues. So easier to extend tile to wall (even if a little sloppy on that side) and this looks better, saves cuts/time tiling, makes putting the vanity in easier (shims), and can be changed out in a couple hours. Like shirlock said you just need a couple of screws through vanity frame to wall framing to keep it in place in the back and maybe one of the sides. I test after each screw and if there isn't a wiggle (I give a hard wiggle) then I stop putting in screws.
To sum:
