Why not do likewise?

Depends who is neater, and scheduling. We typically install hardwood, then trim & other trades, paint base coats, finish the floors, then final paint. Floor finish is typically done with squeegies and mops, and at least buggers up the baseboards, sometimes splashes on the wall.
In your case I'd paint the walls, do the floors, then touch-up the base moldings. That's assuming they use a scratch pad and are not sanding, you are not changing colors, so there is minimum dust.
If full finish with sanding, what 2.7RS said.
