Essentially, all that saves is a newline

The exact same argument could be used for list comprehensions themselves.
No, an LC saves more than newlines -- it saves the code
to set up and append to a list. This is a substantial
improvement when this code would otherwise swamp the
essentials of what's being done.
This doesn't apply to a plain for-loop that's not
building a list.
