I agree with everyone on this. I don't do alignments on speculation, only when it's clearly required: uneven tire wear, parts replacement (tie rods, control arm bushings, etc) or impact damage (big curb hit, major pothole, collision, etc). Most common has been parts replacement. If the car's tracking straight and not wandering, the tires are wearing normally, the steering wheel is centered, then why waste the money?
I find the rack&pinion steering and "mc-struts" used in every front drive car I've owned in recent decades are light years ahead of the recirculating ball steering and coil/leaf spring and tube shock suspensions of my earlier rear-drive cars. Those old mutts required constant alignment and were always drifting left or right and the steering wheel was always off centre... but that's the way it was back then and you just learned to live with it.
