Conversely, what if I want to import STEP files and modify them? You can make an almost perfect analogy with raster and vector image formats. They both have their niches; however: it's trivial to rasterize a vector drawing, but it's a ton of work to vectorize an raster image well. So, all things being equal, it makes sense to start your designs at the 'high ground'.
