Am I the only one who sees guys not leaving a gap for expansion on laminate jobs?

I did a repair last week where the whole floor buckled because it was tight to the wall. The homeowner said the first installer told him it wasn't needed. How do you make sure that gap stays clear when you're putting down the baseboard?

Ever try those little plastic spacers you pull out later?

Honestly I saw a post where someone said those spacers can actually mess up your grout over time. Something about trapping moisture behind them and causing cracks later on. Tbh I'd just stick with the old school way and pull them when the grout is half dry.
