An instrument that is a hair sharp of everybody else is going to sound "brighter" and cut through better. If you're manufacturing a musical instrument, it stands to reason that you want it to stand out. If tuning it sharp is what it takes, well, ... that's what it takes.
30cents or so is not a hair sharp its closer to 'WT... key are they playing in?'
Hmmm. Point taken.
