The planer doesn't leave the board unstressed
during the flattening process, so there's some spring-back
as the board exits.
The steps (3) and (4), though, seem better than a jointer
if you are going for an edge glue joint later; sanding the
surface after a dull jointer pass is harder than sanding the
surface after a dull tablesaw pass. Handplane jointing
is ready for glue, but power jointers can (especially when
dull) compress the fibers badly.
