If you export too soft, s/he will have to turn up the amp.
One positive side effect of normalization is that you get the best
signal/noise ratio for the exported target (usually 16bit). If the
loudest peak is at 0dBFS the whole [16bit] range is available for
dynamic range. If the digital peak is at -6dBFS you get one less bit
dynamic range (with integer encoding).

Why would 3
weeks of work on 25 tracks be thrown to a
mathematical function that will move one fader ?

That still sounds like you're confused about it.
If you normalise the master output, it does not affect your mixing
balance at all. All the mysterious "mathematical function" does is:
1. play the song through a "peak hold" meter.
2. look at the maximum peak level, say it's minus n dB FS.
3. play the song again with the master fader at plus n dB FS
4. save the result
