Is there any reason to not use a hyper detailed graphic EQ curve like the ones on Auto EQ for Equalizer APO? (alien.top)

I know it can create a bit of latency but you can get so damn close to Harman. Why not use this as a tool? There's a parametric eq option but it doesn't get as exact...

Generally parametric EQ will get more exact. You can configure AutoEQ, increasing the number of bands beyond 10 and tell it to attempt narrower corrections.

The measurements are not entirely accurate, particularly in the treble, and some aspects of the measurement will be different on your head, so extremely close adherence to a target from flawed measurements is not a great idea, small stuff it's usually better to leave alone. Hence why by default it won't make very narrow corrections.
