Yes, because they're replaced by superior products. Uneven grip holes are a good example here: your 4 fingers together are not nearly the same size as your thumb, so why wouldn't you want uneven grip holes to match this?

And rubberized grips help you hold the scissors more securely, so you don't slip and cut yourself (or make an inaccurate cut).
