Having never had a PA myself, I have no strong prediction here either way, but I think this can explain for a lot of the confusion of "who'd want this"/"who would not want this".
When I've worked for places that had people who could book flights for me, I usually ended up preferring to do it myself. Turns out I have a lot of small preferences.
Also one time it turned out a meeting I didn't even need to be at cost the taxpayer $900 in flights, which I would never have agreed to if I had seen the price before it was booked.
