I think a lot of people copy and consider it a "study" - they get to a point where they can replicate the image relatively well, relying on the negative space and treating the study as a 2d > 2d exercise rather than thinking about the forms as a whole. I'm guilty of this myself, the disparity in quality between copy and imagination is jarring and with people now happily relying on photobashing and 3d as a crutch more than a tool it'll only get worse.

The way Krenz approaches redrawing anatomy from various angles is one of the better ways to internalise the information as it requires thought as well as observation.

At this point I do these studies for relaxation, with a focus on the nuance of details so I don't just repeat my prefered features. That being said I don't find them too valuable and im not sure what I retain.
