Has anyone else used welt between their rear fender and their side step?

I ask because I stopped by the shop today and that's what the painter told me he was doing. I asked why and he said to protect the paint at the joint from rubbing each other and creating a place for future rust. I said as long as he aligns the welt so it look good I was ok with it.

Anyone else?
