Default Daffodils

I was tying down my daffodils in the troughs in the front
garden over the weekend, partly because I usually do and partly
to show the tulips in the pots better.

A man passing by stopped and said "Oh, I've not seen anyone tie
down daffodils like that for years" (or words to that effect).
Made me think:

a) Is it worth doing, except for the second reason above?
b) Does it help the bulb?
c) Looking around the gardens here, why does no one else do it!
