If you wear the inside of a symmetric tire like the P6 (eg 9-5 toe/camber problem), you can flip it over the rim + put the wear on the outside. Even a properly aligned c900 with all the suspension fine will preferentially wear the outside edge... Flipping over the rim is a common strategy used to prolong the life of tires and even the wear. But I can't imagine doing that as often as moving wheels around the car. My summer + winter tires are on separate rims... that said, some people re-mount/balance every spring + fall because they are too cheap to buy a second set of rims! Rims are cheaper in the long run though! So I partly agree with you, and if you have perfectly even wear, there is no need to flip over the rim, but it can be beneficial once in a while at minimal cost. I think Bender's case would be a good example!
