Question Gains from Odd seatpost sizes

What is gained when a frame builder settles in on an odd seatpost size (eg. 27.0, 30.0, 29.4, 32.4)?

Or phrased another way; what would be lost if a bikes seat tube were honed and or Permanantly shimmed to be 27.2 or 31.6 only?

Some sizes are so close to being 27.2 or 31.6 that is seems silly not to just make it happen during the design.

Sincerely,
Not happy with the 28.0 post options JOE!

PS - I know there are shims available but they are silly too.
