I think it absolutely does help for at least two reasons:

1) It allows the hotel to know when you will arrive, preventing them from releasing a room as a no-show. This is especially true for late arrivers.

2) It allows you to see what room category you're in, which is helpful because this will be the first indicator that you've been upgraded.
