Agree - in one context if your decision is different due to a change in seed -> change in output, then frankly it isn't an input you should be using to decide?
On the other hand once you're happy with the error bars wrt seeding it is imo useful to have consistency in reporting.
That said, I know sometimes the point of analysis is more about narrative building than decision making, and changing numbers make it harder to maintain trust in a narrative.
