Generally, it doesn't do any good to the trigger, hammer, striker or
firing pin, and any associated wearing parts.

So generally it's a dumb thing to do with the only benefit being to

From a mechanical stand point I would agree "So generally it's a dumb
thing to do," but I would stop short of trying to divine another
person's motivations for doing so. Why don't you just advise them
against it?
