When you have a large base of installations in a big organization, this can make a difference in practice because your incident responders have to sift through less data. This makes much less of a difference when you have great log management and SIEM systems in place. Many places don't, and some hygiene can make a difference at times.

When I see this in practice, the first thing I check is how auth is being done and the overall security of the host. Then, I look for how they are doing SIEM because cleaner logs is a common reason and they'd be better off with a more proactive management approach.
