The reasons why I don't do it are: 1. It's unnecessary. 2. I have a life. 3. Unnecessary downtime is frowned upon in a 24x7 shop. 4. I don't need to justify my existence by doing useless administrative work.
It's like disassembling your car's axles and clean your shocks every weekend as "scheduled maintenance". As long as you are careful, it's pretty safe to do so. But, why bother?

I've heard/read quite a few people cringing about it, but can never back it up. I've been doing it for years without a hitch; I think as long as the proper precautions are taken and proper trending and planning is performed instead of just defragging willy-nilly, it's a pretty safe thing to do. I'm interested in hearing the other side, though ... anyone?
