I think if you did a survey, you would find that many "high standards" builders with good lighting wet out glass on bare wood like Newfound Woodworks - who has a video on glassing and Bear Mountain Boat Shop - author of two of the nicest books on stripping. You are also sacrificing a chemical bond for a mechanical one on the glass. It's really a matter of choice and belief rather than obvious results. If one way was obviously superior, everyone would be doing it that way.
