Have you ever noticed that most engines almost never need valve jobs anymore? Most engines go to the junkyard with the original heads, and that is with a shitload of miles on them. This was not always the case. That is the difference between the old way and the new way(no pun intended). When you cut a valve seat as opposed to grinding you leave a polished surface that is less likely to burn. But as mentioned lapping still works and is cost effective.
