As Pilots we have the ability to make or break the engine, particularly over time. Amongst other things smooth changes in throttle level and being aware of the induced temperature changes and resultant stresses involved will assist in ensuring a longer-life engine as well as improving the life chances of the Pilot & Pax. It doesn't really cost anything, and in the long run could save money, so why not?
