Default why do we use print preview modes?

Actually, that's a very good question. Print layout view in Word pretty
accurately shows me how a page will appear once printed, so about the only
time I use print preview in Word is to update fields. Before W2007, I used
normal view (& back) for that purpose. In Excel 2003 and before I used print
preview often, but now with Excel 2007's page layout view, I, again, rarely
use print preview. I've wondered why print preview is still a feature (since
at least W2002). Either it remains because too many users would squawk if
it were removed, or it does something the other views (including the reading
view) can't. Does anyone know?
