With only several dollars worth of high-precision PCB specifications, you two can save multiple fractions of a cent worth of passive components!
There are applications where this can be useful, though. Especially when PCB production quirks can be more repeatable than component soldering, which can be affected by ambient temperature, humidity, solder paste age, and a bunch of other factors.
