Again, you're talking about 'learned and practiced' artists. They learned construction at some point.
OP specifically said:
When you want your drawings to actually look good
Until a learning artist understands simple forms in 3d space )through practicing construction or gesture construction( they won't be able to correctly draw 3d forms that 'actually look good'. I'm saying whether an artist currently uses them in day-to-day work or not, they at some point had to draw, learn, and understand construction.
I'm not really sure what you've got a disagreement about, but if you're saying construction isn't needed and some people can innately dream up correct forms without ever studying forms, then that is incorrect.

Those artists have been drawing construction lines daily for decades so they don't need to use them anymore. For a learning artist that hasn't yet made a professional art career, drawing and understanding construction lines is necessity.

If you want your drawings to look good, then you need to draw construction lines beforehand. They can be erased afterward. There is no such thing as imagining them in your mind correctly, they need to be physically drawn.

Restarting is actually key to full understanding. Every time you do an exercise over again, you'll get a little more understanding of it. No exercise is truly 'done' until it's done correctly, and even then it's still good to do them over from time to time just to 'hone the edge of the knife'.
