If you can't fianchetto with a Bishop, you cannot create one of the essential "fortresses" common to chess. Getting a Bishop onto a long diagonal that is also in the same file as a castled king adds a great deal of stability to the game.

When I first started playing regular chess, the concept of the fianchetto seemed foreign to me. Look at the players who molded it into a strategic weapon, the hypermoderns of the early 1900's. I think, by default, we are all "classic era" players, and only learn the finer points of the game after a longer period of exposure to it.

Just my opinion, of course, and each player's experience is undoubtedly different.
