Just sayin.......
Same principle as doing board presses all the time. Louie talks about this....all the guys that show up at a meet and can't lock anything out generally followed by a statement like "I don't understand I can do xxxxx off of xxxx boards".
Not that they don't have there place but if you constantly train, let's call them, "half reps", that's what your body will be conditioned to do.

For some people yes, just not me. My triceps overpower my chest. The lockout has never been a problem for me so I don’t feel the need to constantly train that portion of the lift when I’ve never missed a lift on a lockout in a meet. Just like I don’t ever train my grip and I use straps for every deadlift workout. But I’ve never dropped a lift in a meet and can hold 700+ till the cows come home.
