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.

While you have valid questions, ther is no problem with putting in a
different arrangement of cabinets. You simply patch in the floor if needed.
The floor will have a match problem however if you uncover unexposed floor
ther is going to present a match problem also.




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.

It is not a good idea to expose a new floor to contractors coming in and
out and dragging equipment across the floor. Fitting in a few cabinets is
no more bother than going around wall corners, door ways, or sizing to a
room, it might add 1% more work but that will be saved in not paying for
floring that will not be used.




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.

I suspect you might do it once but the second time around you would most
likely do it the less expensive way.
