It doesn't damage the paint, misshape the sill, and provides a secure position to support the car.
The other advantage being it saves loads of hassle trying to reinvent the wheel

I was going to ask, why remove the jacking pad, but I guess it’s so the 4x2 remains flush (along its 18” length) with the sill?
