What advantage is there in spending extra money on something that you will
never see?

I don't agree. Once you go that route, you're locked into the exact
placement of those cabinets. What happens if you want to put in new cabinets
some time in the future? Unlikely they'd be the same size and shape. You'd
be trying to hide areas where you didn't install flooring.

And certainly on a new build, it's much easier to install an entire floor
than to take the time to modify and cut flooring to fit around cabinets
installed before the flooring. Just doesn't make any sense. Maybe as a
contractor, get the job done and get out, possibly. For something I'd build
for my own use, certainly not.
