The Z-Offset applies the correction across the entire G-code (at least in PrusaSlicer. Not sure about other slicers). Because my machines are broadly similar (very different mechanicals, but similar extruder/hotend), I can and often do use the same Gcode across printers. Worst case my be I need to change a small part of the start Gcode. Third reason is pretty minor and uncommon but in the event I need to rescue a print by restarting it at the right height, then it's much simpler to get the right layer if the 'bed to completed layer' distance matches the gcode.Doesn't it only protect against that if you have some hard-stops in place? If you set an incorrect value in the slicer couldn't it still hit the bed (assuming no hard stops)?
