With no plugs, there is virtually no cylinder/bearing load and the spin RPM is higher(vs with plugs), while 'light' starting the engine sees much higher cylinder loads and introduces fuel...the only thing seeing a consistent load is the valvetrain, and the pump pushes the same volume per revolutions(ie, not a variable-displacement pump), with some potential lose of efficiency at low rpm
Anyhow, everyone use what they are confident in and works for them...
Cheers,
Don't confuse the first time starting of a fresh engine with what occurs during an oil service.

Two vastly different scenarios. I do more engine builds than oil services!

No doubt there, absolutely agree.
