I used to do this as well. One thing I appreciate on my coil sprung bikes is being able to grab them any time and having one or two less setup details I have to consider. On my SS hardtail with the coil fork I can get away with a quick bounce in my garage to see if tire pressure is reasonable and most often just head out for a ride. Before I put an insert in the rear of my hardtail that tire pressure would be pretty crucial to avoiding tire/rim damage. Now there is a wide enough range of pressures that don't lead to any problems that I can eyeball it so to speak.
