a big advantage of having a calibrated printer is that you can use a paper

Indeed.
Or, for larger enterprises, you get consistency across a group of printers. An
high-volume production environment might have a room full of the same printers,
all cranking out the same prints. Or a remote printer can be trusted to work
the same as the one locally.
The big manufacturers are doing things to further expand that type of
consistency. The matte paper that Canon ships with printers uses the same
coating as a number of their other papers, including presentation and banner
stock, meaning a single profile would work fine in most settings for all -- and
that you can do your proof prints on the one and have it look the same for the
final.
I would expect similar consistency across a generation of printers -- that the
24", 44", and 60" models that share at least an ink set if not print heads
should have acceptably-close output. After all, the calibration is going to be
linearizing the ink density, and the ink is all the same....
