Not needing to use a larger transistor?  As long as you have a comfortable margin there's no reason not to run a transistor a bit hot.  True, elevated temperatures accelerate device degradation, but normal "hot" operation isn't hot enough to make a big difference.

Uh, could we quantify these with some numbers?

They don't ever ask you to turn the heating on?
