They save time and keep the conical chamfer centered on the clearance hole. But there are two potential downsides: 1) when you need a size you don't have on hand; or 2) if you lose or break one of the pilot hole bits. Though not unheard of, if your project calls for larger clearance holes closer to 1\/4\", suitable combination bits are uncommon in most tool kits.
