Question Cutting on point

I just bought "501 Rotary-Cut Quilt Blocks" by Judy Hopkins. The instructions for many of the blocks call for making a template and having squares or rectangles cut on point resulting in shapes cut on the bias. Is there any reason I couldn't cut these on the straight grain? Sub-cutting a long strip seems much easier than cutting squares or rectangles from a template. Does the bias cut square make the block more stable?
