Very true. About the only time I find net labels acceptable is buses (otherwise the multiple lines clutter the schematic) and multi-sheet connections. Can't find it now, but back in around 2005 I found a basic 555 circuit for beginners with every connection to the chip besides power & ground being a net. IIRC, the pins weren't even laid out to match the chip. Every time I run across a spark fun schematic I have flashbacks to that. Which is a real shame, since the company's goal is to educate newbies. And it isn't impossible, Adafruit generally does a good job of this.
