You obviously haven't written many PC 3D engines lately then. Low framebuffer precision per component means that after a few blending operations your actual pixel color can be sufficiently off the correct value as to make a difference.
Plus, higher pixel depths will allow us to more accurately simulate the accumlation of light in the frame buffer, leading to much more realistic and "correct" lighting solutions.
