I used to prefer terminal cuttings of fig branch for rooting because the apical tip bud delightfully opened fast causing hope of a beautiful plant.  Howeve, in some cases the cutting struggled to root and some cuttings never rooted and the cutting with pretty shoot eventually died. Since the objective is to cause rooting before the stored nutrients get depleted gradually , I thought it may help rooting if the shoots are somehow delayed and one way is to remove the dormant apical bud of the terminal cutting.
There is a statment in the reference website below that says (translated) "Some people cut the apical bud. It can think that prioritize the rooting delaying the growing leaves. My experience, for the dormant wood, it has suggested me that nothing different happens. ". 

It is possible that the observation may not be very true when it says " My experience, for the dormant wood, it has suggested me that nothing different happens. ".

If it is true that removing the apical bud helps in rooting of cuttings by conserving nutrients for rooting then by extension of this it will also help to minimize the number of potential dormant shoots to one or two healthy dormant buds.

My thoughts are based on intuition only and not based on any experiment or botanical knowledge and would like to know about informed opinion on this.

Hi Akram
Good question and i dont know the answer but have had success both ways although i prefer to have the budded tip when rooting as its faster for me to create the shape of tree i desire if it roots.
That tip the apical bud has the auxins in it by cutting it on a " Growing Plant" your sending the Auxins downwards and creating lateral branching.
Is there movement of the Auxins in "Unrooted" pieces of scion when the apical bud is cut in dormant scion and or fresh cuttings?
If so would this put even more strain on that piece of scion trying to root by movement of the auxins sending the signal " hey time to grow more branches outwards thus taking energy away from it trying to root?
Like i said great question and i hope it can be answered.
