For visualization or maybe 3D printing, yea. But for finite element analysis, you don't want smooth filling at weird corners/etc. A flat surface is more efficient since it can have fewer mesh elements.

A weakness of this method is that it globally changes the entire mesh! That's bad. You might lose important detail elsewhere. I wonder if those refinement and unrefinement steps are really necessary or not?
