Apart from the explanations already provided, I also think (as usual) 
that it depends on the use case... Lots of bandlimiting examples assume 
one wants to do a 20Hz to 20kHz 'smooth' sweep - which might not always 
be the case (I'm not sure how common that is with saw, square etc. (I 
guess pure sine has more applications for that)). For a saw-sounding 
synth sound one could just use a wavetable with some filters, etc.

There are even some people who might use aliasing and its sound 
characteristics as a 'feature' for its distinctive 'harsh' timbre :-)
