Intuitively, it feels good not moving the point around
too much from Elisp.

Because, moving point around emulates how a human
would solve the problem interactively (i.e., with the
keyboard) contrary to how a computer could just access
the data exactly where it is without any detour.

That said, I often move point around from Elisp (with
`save-excursion') and I have yet to experience a real
problem whose solution was not moving the
point around.
