It's also nice to have the byte compiler help you get the logic right.
For instance, in Emacs 28, saying

(require 'tramp-loaddefs)

will bug out, but byte-compiling it shows where the problem is, so it
was trivial to fix.

Not that this is a major deal either, but it's just one more thing the
byte-compiler can worry about so that us poor human beans don't have to
work as hard.
