Plus you can't overspray and blend with frozen paints, so you have to match it right - which forces the body shop to up their game, vs the sloppy work they do on normal paints.
Totally agree; blending of adjacent panels only necessary if colour match not prefect. My front bumper has just been painted separate from the car.
