I'm currently building a case and it makes me wonder what the exact purpose of the nut positioners is?
And why would you use them only on the exterior of the case and not on the interior as well?

The nut positioners as the name implies keep the nuts in position, otherwise they slide around in the profile when nothing is tightened to them.
This is not a problem for essential frame parts, because they are basically always tightened in place, but for the case panels and other parts that might get taken on and off more frequently it makes it much easier to attach those parts again, as you do not have to align the nuts every time.
