Tuning the N2O leaner will indeed get more power, so that is the purpose of running the cold plugs.
That's what I do because I have no intention of doing what's safe for the engine. I just want to avoid major engine damage due to a stupid plug failure. I'd rather see something else break besides something due to a plug failure... that's just me.
I've never cared for running any resistor-type plug while spraying, so a lot of those plugs you are talking about, I'd never even try myself.

If that is what's working for you, then go for it. I have had much success running the hottest plug I can and not pre-igniting.
