If the structure is accurately framed, studs are at predictable centres, and it's much easier to drill straight holes when the sheet is on horses than when you're standing on a ladder. We snap lines and pre-install the screws, which makes running them in while working at height a much simpler process. As well, choosing a screw that self-taps into existing (and often hard) materials makes life easier.
