Not any semiconductor defect can be "fused off," or worked around in software, and provisions to do so cost space too.
Super high yields are transformative, as they allow for much simpler test, and binning strategies. Throwing out 1 chip out of 1000 is incomparably cheaper than having to salvage "every n-th chip."
