It's a two way: file size (amount of points) and rasterization issues.

Since every DTP program has it's own (or multiple) rasterization algorithms (and the same goes for printers) we have to deal with these too. It's about balance. :)

So it's an upfront hedge to work around poorly written rasterizers?

I would love to see some examples of the bad rasterization this kind of thing fixes. I think that would be an interesting article/addition.
