IMO, there are reasons.

1. Assuming that you haven't replaced them for a long while and 1 burns out, it is likely that the others are not far behind. Save yourself the gasket $10-15 and the time, routine or not.

2. If you take it out after a long while, you can re-anti-seize the plugs and clean the threads.
