I can tell you that in construction a long, straight and flat anything is critically needed and if it can level and plumb all the better. Some tradesman pay dearly for just what you describe and they are called screeds.
I would have killed for this remodeling my basement and trying to currently level my wavy, humped and out of level floor. When I furred down the ceiling to level I had to strap a 4' level to a long straight edged board to get the flatness and level I needed. Longer levels span more area and make things easier as you can find humps or dips you may have missed with a shorter level. If two or more adjacent framing members read level across them that does not mean that some other down the line are in the same plane, longer levels help find those out of tolerances and they do it quickly with no setup needed . You may be in fact reading level on two points that are level to each other but low or high of plane. In cases like that some do reach for the laser level but the setup needed slows things to a craw. You can quickly slide a level across framing to check for level. Doing that with laser level would be a super tedious process of resetting it if it is a laser line level or checking with a gauge at various points if it is 360 laser.
Laser have been a great help to the trades and there are times where they are the right and perfect tool for the job but bubble levels are one of the the most needed and critical tools of the trade.
There is great irony that in the age of laser levels I see almost all new homes be they $250,000 to $5,000,000 are terribly out of level, square and flat. Mid and turn of the previous century and even before homes are often more level and flat than any modern home you can buy, they are just built very shoddy with shoddy and cheap materials.

There's far better 8 foot levels like the Stabila's that run $350 and up.
