Well it would, fixed pitch props unwind over time so need retting, this is done by re twisting the blades, you can additionally retwist them as cruise props or climb props.
Indeed, however as you know in the civvy world cost is all and folk fly with the rattiest (but legal) props that have been touched up, blended in, you name it. To fly an aircraft with a well balanced prop that hasn't been blended in at least a dozen places is a delight.
