There seems to be some confusion between wheel hub and wheel carrier.

The carrier is part of the suspension and should have no wobble. If it does there is a problem.

The wheel hub is the part that spins around and that the wheel and brake disk bolts to. If the wheel not isn't tightened the bearings that support the hub inside the carrier will not hold it firmly. In that case it will wobble and if you try to drive with it in that state it will quickly destroy the wheel bearings.
