True,but it is indeed equally true that it doesnot give one the actual resource
requirement,which may differ vastly, at the time of execution.

Most of the algorithms you use have been proven,correct, complete etc. so you
rarely need to bother...

Space complexity was important in the days of yore...

Not very likely lest you are trying to find a sol. to  travelling salesman
