Forgot to say that typically, .Xdefaults overrides .Xresources, so if you
want to take advantage of .Xresources, you better avoid .Xdefaults. But in
the widespread one-machine-does-all approach it makes little difference.

You'll notice it in a situation like this: imagine a Raspi back there in
the closet, with a lo-res display (say, 320x240). You'll want pretty small
fonts on that, to fit anything on screen. Now you ssh -X into that from
your workstation (1600x1200). The fonts used in the Raspi will be unreadable.

The graphical app running on the Raspi should "honour" your workstation's
font choice, otherwise you'd need a magnification glass. How? Well, the
X server on your workstation is the one doing the display work anyway,
and has its own set of .Xresources. Had you set an .Xdefaults on the
Raspi, the X library would override that -- most likely not what you
want (but if you choose wisely what to set, you might put that to good
use, perhaps coluring the windows differently to give you a hint of
where the app is running, I don't know).
