Recording on one device only certainly avoids the problem, but it is
limiting. It is extremely convenient (for some applications) to be
able to record sound on a portable audio recorder that is not tethered
to a camera. There can be all sorts of reasons for mixing cameras
too. Sure it's not ideal, but if it can be easily fixed with software
in post, why not?
