As Chad pointed out, it isn't about preserving the cam pin but more about reducing the subsequent wear introduced to the bolt. If you can do something (don't need to buy ours) by simply marking it and reinstalling it in the same orientation each time for free, I don't see why some are up in arms about it. End users aren't spending $10 to preserve a $8 part, but the bolt. Or don't, and replace the bolt and cam pin as needed.
We respect Chad a great deal, and know he doesn't do something because it's trendy, there is his considerable professional experience and knowledge behind it. This runs parallel with our design philosophy of "nothing without a purpose or reason", we don't make decorations.
