Everyone who works with SOLIDWORKS knows this fact, that the first component inserted into the assembly is fixed. Of course, this can be done at a later stage....
No breakthrough between curves and the need to repeat the operation
When modeling complex shapes, we often use loft or boundary operations. imagine, that you are marking a dozen or so curves....

Viewing the alternative position in parts is also possible
Let's imagine a plastic model. e.g. a sandwich box or a ketchup cap. These are individual parts (not assemblies)...
Defining default sheet metal parameters
You create parts from sheet metal and each time you have to define bending parameters? It's not true. You can save the settings in a document template!...
