Kai-Martin and I only answered your simple question:
"Why is no-net copper useful?"
The context was supporting it in a layout tool and specifically how
it impacts DRC and connectivity checking. I'm just trying to
understand the thought here. If copper is left behind because of
manufacturing, it doesn't really impact the layout process or
connectivity checking.
It just struck me as odd that there would be support in a layout tool
for no-net copper that might be connected to nets.
