Because not all CELs mean your engine is about to blow up.

No but it means that it's not runnig at it's best, so why bother running if the car is not at it's best? Perhaps I'm wrong but depending on how long the CEL has been on the car may be running in limp mode.

ANY CEL is placing the car full rich. Soft codes do that.. Hard codes are MUCH worse...
