I would disagree here, as I see KRP vs KR regularly.  In fact, in long
games on ICC, I'd bet I see this about every 10 games or so.  Lonnie
can comment because he has played against Crafty a lot.  And it is quite
often for two computers to end up a pawn up or down, in the ending, and
if one knows about this, it will win more, or draw when it should lose,
than without them.

ditto for endings like KRB vs KR...  where it knows to trade into that
when it can be drawn...
