Your point is accurate. But did you know that Apple technicians still recommend that even disk fragments not be removed? I learned this recently - the explanation is that defragging utilities can "accidentally" over-write the "hot zone" on the disk - where certain essental files are kept.
I agree also with your statement about optimizing to keep PhotoShop from not going crazy, slowing down. But for the average user, the risk must be balanced against the advantage. For those who really need PhotoShop running at top speed all the time, the priority is clearly in favor of disk defragging.
