Exactly. Some composers have trouble seeing the forest from the trees (and you can't blame them, writing music 14 hours a day is hard). Making a master PT session can keep them sane.
Two examples:
1. For advertising, I would be really surprised to get a PT session unless there were (8) versions of a campaign. WAV mix and stems are totally fine.
2. I'm producing the music for a TV show now, and I deliver a PT session with checkerboard stereo stems for the mixer. But in addition to that, I send the entire music edit on 50-60 tracks
below the mixed stems. This allows the mixer to work fast with the stereo stems on top, but if they run into trouble, they can dive into the multitrack for really detailed work.
