For any rendering mode that doesn't have Phong shading, the extra triangles make sense. Atari CAD-3D didn't have any Phonglike shading modes. Neither does VideoScape 1.0, Sculpt Painting mode, sketch mode, etc. To use smoothing modes, you require lots of extra time, in most programs. Just because Turbo Silver is the fastest… 🙂 It depends on the object, some faces could be removed if you have smoothing options.
