That's the difference between engineering and building. I heard some fellow in Home Depot the other week telling his buddy how the house he was building was going to be with 2 x 12" floor joists on 12" centers, so it would be "built solid".
Totally unnecessary, both in the cost for the material and the expense to install it, to say nothing of additional weight to support. It may seem like a good idea, but if it isn't needed then it's just additional cost for no good reason.
