We thought about it but I’ve heard a lot of leaks happen due to tiled shower areas. While it looks marginally better we would rather remove potential future issues. Same with the tile trim on the recess, it’s possible without (and looks a bit nicer) but that’s a weak point for water ingress.
It's because you need to have the fall tiled at the correct angle which can mean a lot of cuts and grouted edges. All of which can be a potential leak.....you don't get any of that with a shower tray.
