The act of copying to all rows may seem useless to you ...

"Useless" never crossed my mind.
"Inefficient" and "Slow" did, though.

This will work just fine for a table with a few rows, but try it with a real table of millions of rows. Your Application's performance will go through the floor.
Updating rows is [relatively] slow. It always involves writes to disk, if only to the Transaction [binary] log and that's Orders of Magnitude slower than reading stuff.

But, as I said, YMMV.

Regards, Phill W.
