why not trim the door down by 1/4 inch on each side

You haven't mentioned the height of the doors, either.

Hard to trim METAL!

You will find they are all going to be a half inch smaller than the
nominal size

frown Then why is *bob's* (upthread) 36" (presumably closer than
half an inch to 36!)

Because the contention they're _all_ "nominal less half" is simply not
so...some prehungs are less-quarter and it's certainly possible to buy
and find full-width door slabs which will have finished openings
"nominal plus" clearance rather than the door being smaller.

The "less-half" varietal is probably the most common of new units
available now, but it isn't unique and certainly wasn't in the past, either.
