Yeah, I looked into it a bit into the past. It's one of those things I would pay someone to do (next to wheel building and maybe derailluer tuning).
It becomes much more important as you get older and you can really damage things if you're putting pressure in the wrong places.
Less important on things like MTB (Because you're probably not going to be in one positoin for like 8+ hours striaght).f
I used to think "wtf really?", "I had a roadbike fixie conversion that was like way too small for me and it was fine", then I rode a century fixed and weird things started getting sore in weird places, and I had to take it seriously towards the last 20 miles or so and adjust myself every few minutes, and take it slow, etc. Permanent tendon damage can happen at those distances.
