I'm just a rube but in general there are two issues:
1 - the atmosphere distorts and filters out a lot of light in various wavelengths. MGT likely has better resolution, but only for light that reaches it.
2 - JWST is primarily for infrared. Given blackbody radiation of the equipment itself can create a bunch of noise there, it's important to keep the equipment as cool as possible.
