A bigger benefit is to your variance. You can avoid betting 4X on marginal preflop hands when your cards are copied multiple times in other player hands. This helps you to avoid the occasional big bet when you're actually at a disadvantage, reducing the frequency of large losses.
slightest advantage you bet max
I suppose you could bet 3x if the outlook is a guess

I mean here if you're at a disadvantage but would not have known it without seeing the other player cards.
Extreme example: If you have A-7, but see the other three aces in the face-up cards of your fellow players, then it is revealed that your A-7 is at a disadvantage (negative EV) and you should bet zero pre-flop rather than Bet 4X. This occasionally saves you from a highly likely 5 unit loss.

Interesting! How do you calculate the 4x raise/check decision? This is like doing an all new calculation with a new remaining deck composition each time.

Yes. The math would be interesting. In the extreme example, you have an ace and the players have the other three aces. That means you can't get another ace, but it also means the dealer doesn't have an ace and therefore you have the high kicker. That seems like a strong position to bet from.
What's the correct play?
A player still 4x raise A,2 even if one other ace is held by other fellow players.
A player should check A,2 if two other aces are held by other fellow players.
A player should check A,3 if three other aces are held by other fellow players.
Following this trend, I predict:
A player should 4x raise A,7 even if three other aces are held by other fellow players.
