Presumably the idea is to avoid acetaminophen etc. if you don't need it, which is reasonable in theory if you're being prescribed the drug just for the opioids.
I don't know offhand what the separation process involves, but I can guess, and I expect it isn't quite as simple as is implied. If it involves certain solvents etc., it could be very dangerous for someone without the necessary skills. I could be wrong, but in any case, it would be difficult for the average person to achieve reliable dosing. I wouldn't recommend it.
Besides acetaminophen (which some people have a legitimate reason to avoid, in which case there are versions of hydrocodone, at least, that are mixed with ibuprophen or aspirin), I'm also skeptical that the other fillers (besides maybe caffeine) are particularly "nasty".
