It's not my car and he can do what he wants. I find it to be a weird low-effort step to skip considering the bearings are already going to be taken off.

...ok and clearance isn't ok due to the crank. What is he going to do? Replace it? Also, who check the gap on spark plugs? Unless tech look for specific gap needed the spark plug will be installed as is.
