It may be easier and less risky in regard to parking/backing up, folks hitting your car with their luggage as they maneuver between parked cars and to receiving door dings etc under tight conditions.

Granted 3" isn't a lot however makes a difference especially in dealing with the narrower (compact car) parking spaces we are seeing more and more of.
Just saying, one of the worst ways to end a long trip is a visit to the body shop for a repair estimate.
