It is not like specifying file name args would cause Emacs to quit on
its own or do anything awful.
So I utterly disagree with you here. If I know that I am going to
edit one or more files with certain names when calling Emacs, there is
no gain whatsoever in using C-x C-f instead of just listing the files
on the command line.
It is a bad habit to exit Emacs when one might need it soon. But
there is nothing to be gained from starting it when one does not
actually need to edit anything.
