On the other hand they'll never grow if kept in the potter's pot, which is probably desirable in a houseplant, but personally I would rather watch the plant grow.
I was gifted a monstera adansonii in a fairly small (12cm diameter iirc) pot and it remained more or less the same size for a year or so, but since repotting it a couple of months ago into a 25cm pot and providing a new trellis structure it's grown nearly 30cm and sprouted many more leaves (although it has been all vertical growth so far, I'm hoping it will fill out horizontally once it reaches the top of the trellis). Obviously it would be impractical letting it get to maximum height indoors (around three metres, if I recall correctly), so we probably won't provide it a bigger pot once it reaches the limits of the current one, but seeing it grow has been quite nice.
I attribute part of its success to keeping the plant in the bathroom such that the steam from the shower provides a more tropical climate than the rest of the house and helps moderate its water requirements. I'd like to move it outdoors at some point and let it get to maximum size, but I don't think it would do well in the harsh Australian summer.
I kept a Japanese Peace Lily on my bathroom windowsill in Scotland for a few years. Never watered it once. It thrived, and survived entirely on shower-steam (presumably condensing on the leaves/pot/soil).
They're pretty resilient plants to keep, the way the leaves start to droop when they need watering makes it really easy to take care of them, even for people without particular plant-skills.
