You're right, one should work to make a track sound good without any mastering. Still, that doesn't mean one should finish the entire mixdown without checking it against their mastering tools. I find that it's better to do it in sequence as different sections of the track are developed, and it's far easier to make any necessary minor adjustments inside the sequencer than to re-render and do the mastering all over again.
It's practically a necessity for me to do it that way anyway since I use a few output buses and master each one differently, then do another final mixdown/master all together. It would take forever to do that if I did the mastering outside the sequencer...
Anyway, everyone has their own workflow and they're entitled to use their own methods. I would never tell someone that they *should* do their mastering within the sequencer, it just works a lot better for me.
