In other words, the real reason to let it rest is to let it finish cooking.

Unless it's already cooked, and this extra time spent resting will overcook it, resulting in the meat becoming drier, however imperceptible.

If perfect doneness requires immediate consumption as soon as it leaves the pan I'd argue you've still overcooked it, unless you're fine with only ever being able to reproduce your dish alone, just for you.
