(closer to) equal distance between all the neighbouring cells is really helpful when you're modelling a problem as a network - eg analysing and planning routes

(closer to) equal distance between all the neighbouring cells is really helpful when you're modelling a problem as a network - eg analysing and planning routes and capacity.
Hierarchical partitioning with exact containment is useful when aggregating but that's not always the most critical property.

I think that was the missing piece of information I was looking for!
