Default Sifting Flour - What Good Does It Do?

I've seen recipes calling for "sifted flour". Would someone mind telling
me what good it does? I can honestly tell no difference in the final
recipe whether the flour was sifted or not. Furthermore, I look at flour
in a mixing bowl, then sift it, then run my hand around in it and it looks
again like it's never been sifted.

So why do people sift?
