My use case was data file systems like /home on virtual disks, i.e., VMs. I usually wouldn't make such a file system smaller, but extending is easier because the re-partitioning step can be omitted (as Arvid wrote). On physical disks, I'd most probably not do it.
I think it is just the custom, and that some software complains. Windows, perhaps. It also makes sense, on external flash media, not to create a partition. What for? It makes no sense to waste the space on the tables, the media is already small and never repartitioned. It is done with one partition because some software on Windows do not see it and complain. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
