It’s not even time efficient.

It depends on your goals. Currently my goal is to extract from each mission with the absolute maximum number of rare samples that I can manage to find. Having to backtrack to an area of the map we've already been through to gather samples will cost time that could be better spent elsewhere.

Edit: on a difficulty 7 mission, I'd estimate ~75% of POIs and small/medium bases have at least one rare sample. Those are the samples I need most for ship upgrades so skipping these when I'm close to them is completely at odds with my current goals.
