Manufacturers have to weigh up performance vs reliability in thier cars, after all they have to service warranty claims, so it is reasonable that in some cases there could be benefits in rechipping an NA motor. One example that I have heard of is in Camiras, the first map used when the 2 litres were released was revised for reliability issues - the next release had less aggressive fuel and ignition maps, loosing power, but saving warranty claims.
