If the netlist and PCB layout is correct then why waste time on making the
schematic look like you want it, only to be told by someone else that they
would have drawn it completely differently?

When I was a service engineer there was no such thing as a schematic and I
often had to make do without a circuit diagram at all. On rare occasions a
repair had to wait for a circuit diagram to arrive by post and when it did
it could easily contain circuit A.
 
I'm not suggesting that your B layout isn't preferable but in the real
world A will often be encountered.

I suppose it depends on whether it was drawn by a wireman or by the
designer.  Small firms often benefit from more direct contact between
the designer and the user or repairer.

The drawing office in one firm I worked for was mainly staffed by radio
amateurs and/or radio engineers.  Their circuit diagrams and handbooks
were a model of clarity.
