Using them prevents leaks later on, clamping the tubes.
I have fixed two leaks in pitot static systems over the years. Both were caused by clamped fitting. That's when I started to take seriously the instruction to never clamp pneumatic tubes with anything. Silicon tubes are idiot-proof, PVC tubes age and may become loose if fitting is connected frequently, the fix is to shorten the tube few centimeters and then plug it back.
