It absolutely could, everyone manages their money in their own way. If that's something that works for people I think they should have that option.
Personally when possible, I do like to do things that way. If I owe, say, $100/month on my car payment, I will tend to pay $50 with each paycheck instead of $100 once a month, and if I got paid every week, I would probably choose to pay $25 a week instead. For me and how my brain is wired, it's just easier for me to mentally keep track of things when they're in smaller, more frequent increments. I don't know if I would quite break it down to ~$5 a day if I got paid every day, but i'd consider it.
