CPU Affinity, why don't we use it more?

Just a thought, why don't we utilise CPU affinities more? For example, I have 7 pinned tabs, plus 2 more plus a Youtube playlist open, while I'm playing GTA V. If I tell the Chrome stuff to be limited to cores 15-17 (4 cores) and GTA to use cores 0-7, I get a small (5fps) boost, as well as more stable framerates.

It got me wondering why you don't see more people utilising this, especially since a lot of people have Youtube/Twitch streams open while gaming, and Ryzen is bringing in affordable, high core count CPUs. Do you think this is something we'll see more of?
