I've seen the pourover advice given and referenced unquestioningly: always pre-wet your paper filter. But why? What is the benefit of doing this step?

My Moccamaster booklet says to, so I do it.

t’s to not take away from the bloom. If your filter is dry then your first coffee goes in to the filter and not in to your carafe/cup.
