My neighbor pointed at my fiddle leaf fig and asked why I was "fighting the plant"

I was out on the porch last Saturday trimming it back hard because it kept leaning toward the window, and she told me I should just turn the pot a quarter turn each week instead of cutting it. Tried it for six weeks and the thing is finally standing up straight on its own without me losing half the leaves. Is there a rule for which plants want to be rotated and which ones just want to be left alone?
