Default Valve lifter bore grinding

For you flathead builders, what is the reason for the tops of the lifter bores being ground down a bit?
Is this to make it easier to check the adjustment with adjustable lifters?
I know about drilling of the bores to ease adjustment using a drift, but am wondering about grinding the tops of the bores?
Thanks for the insight
Jim
