Since I can always pull the shadows down a bit in Photoshop later...Isn't that the same idea of some studios firing a bunch of fill strobes at a constant fill for all shots?

To your first question, not really. For two reasons. The first is that I try do everything in-camera. Post-processing takes a lot of time, and if you have to apply the same technique to multiple images it gets very long/tiring/boring/frustrating. The second reason is that in the "properly exposed" region of your photo, there will likely be some areas that fade to black. If you pull down all the content that's nearly black then you'll mess with the "good" part of the photo, too. Unless you mask it, but then we're back to #1.
As to your second question, maybe so, but it seems like a silly thing to do if that's the reason. See above.
