Pitch Bend for Tuning

A process such as Manuel Op de Coul suggests seems feasible, but surely
it is easier to simply retune the standard twelve pitches available in
whichever channel(s) one needs to use, by means of sysex messages, for
example.

Can anyone explain why this should be less easy than retuning by pitch
bend? The only situation that springs to my mind where pitch bend would
be the method of choice, is when the tuning system is irregular and
changes from moment to moment.
