Default Setting a Seam

Hello All,

My question today is:

Why do we set the seam? what does it buy you? I have done it both ways (setting and not setting) and have noticed NO difference in the piecing or ironing or quilt in general. I will say that I iron seams to one side or another, hardly ever sew them open. perhaps setting is more noticeable when you press them open?

Can someone help explain this?
