For sure, and most mods on cars are a waste also as proper tuning and mismatched components do not put more power to the wheels, and that doesn't even get into a properly tuned suspension or a good driveline angle.
I grind the whole thing at 10 degrees or close (I was unaware that was the actual spec, I just liked the look and how it cut lol), I'm not into being that precise on the gauges and I hate doing them with a file, but will if needed. If they are ground to 10 degrees it makes it a lot easier to hand file them in the field if needed, but normally I just grab another saw.
Here's some pictures I just sent a buddy.

I get a lot of chains from the many saws that pass through the door so there is much work to be done to them ti make the "right", but getting the to cut well is a different story. I have a deep cell battery under the bench that is always on a trickle charger to run it.
This chain had obviously been sharpened at a shop before and it looks to have been done at least a few times with a cbn wheel. I did not clean the gullets on this one as speed wasn't needed, just a sharp chain.
