It says "gentle lift" not just moral support. Besides, that's one of many, many professional recommendations to use a spotter. If you can do nine reps of 315, but can get only 300 lbs of the 315 on the 10th rep you have someone available to help you get an extra rep. That's that little bit of work that you wouldn't have gotten without a spotter that makes a difference (or that would still be siting on your chest).
