Help me understand something:  when is showAll useful?

I can appreciate the ease for quickie builds during early-stage 
development, but sooner or later the app will (hopefully) be released 
into a world in which device resolutions, sizes, and ratios can't be 
known in advance.

On the desktop we handle all possible sizes with resizeStack handlers. 
When would a developer not apply the same loving care to their mobile 
layout?
