Used to be that missing your positionals would either not generate kenki at all, or generate less than what you'd get for hitting them. When your 2-3 big hits (Higanbana, Madare, Guren/Senei) required spending 20/50 kenki, the impact on the player's DPS could be fairly significant.

Now that it's been standardized to "hit slightly harder", Kaiten has been removed, and Guren/Senei had their costs slashed to 25... well, none of it really matters anymore, yeah.
