In a mild street motor, ya get bragging rights.  Some GM cranks had
hardened journals, but I don't know which, if any, were factory
installed.  Hardening was not too deep.  Machinists tell me that a
regrind usually removed it, and finding a less than pristine used
treated crank is no better than a non treated one.
