Facing?

Time for an expert opinion.

I am familiar with facing head tubes for headset installation. But of late I have noticed tools for facing bottom brackets, disk brakes, seat tubes, and nearly every other attachment point to frames.

Is this REALLY necessary? Does it matter based upon frame material? Is this a nice thing to do to expensive frames, but you would likely skip it on a Huffy?

Just wondering.

Thanks.
