cylinder wall questions

is it unheard of to have a block from a 90k mile car go into the machine shop(building 383) and not need the cylinder walls to be bored any ?

I had a 130,000 mile block go into the shop that my machinist said had as straight a set of bores as some of the 50,000 mile blocks he had seen, but he still reccomended a hone with torque plates.
