I've always assumed that it's down to your last sentence - err on the side of caution rather than go too far and have to remove and correct.
I also think they assume/hope that the luthier at the guitar shop will sort it out when you buy the guitar. After all most guitar shops say they'll do a setup for free when you buy the axe. It seems a reasonable assumption that that a setup should include this - never seen one include the nut though unless you specifically tell them to.

It depends on the guitar, playing style, and players preference. Modern day guitars don't need that much of a clearance because the sound is instantly there with very little pressure on both fretting and picking hand. Wood and specially pickups enable the string to vibrate small but to be heard big. On some older style instruments where you have to bang it hard in order to get a good sound, possibly a higher cut could prove useful. This also depends on the way a player hits the strings, and the overall build of the neck
