It's a given that what works for one person doesn't always work for another, but for many and probably most pianists, if they use a good edition or an edition whose editor whose fingering they know works for them, the fingerings will be extremely helpful. That's why, even for the most advanced works that can be played by the most advanced pianists, there are generally numerous fingered editions.

Since it's rare that every fingering in a score will work for a given pianist, they will generally have to work out some fingering for them self but why invent the wheel? In fact, since no one can invent the wheel, the chances are good even for very high level pianists and certainly for the other 99%, they will not find the best fingering for them self by electing to not refer to fingered editions.

Not all good editions of music have good fingering suggestions. I remember using the Henle urtext for the Beethoven violin sonatas which had fingering given by someone I had never heard of. The fingerings were terrible (my teacher agreed). My teacher suggested instead to find editions with people who you know have performed the piece at a high level.

Another note, I had used fingering given in the Peters urtext edition of Beethoven sonatas prepared by Claudio Arrau. While the fingering was difficult to learn (many changing fingers on repeated notes and other non-standard fingerings), it worked at tempo. For good or bad, it also gave an Arrau flavour to my Beethoven playing.
