I wonder why they can't just get the last half a mm of accuracy by just grinding down the tips

Grinding down plastic doesn’t leave a smooth surface, which is why this generally isn’t done, and would especially impact the air flow on a fan.

I think tips are one of the more crucial parts of a blade, so if you care about how that blade works you probably don't want the shape to deviate there.
