Maybe I am more anti-social than you ;)
While I am often all-day-online, sometimes I want to "be alone". This 
means really offline, not just DND. Sometimes I don't want people to 
know that I am using my computer and it is "technically" easy for me to 
be available on Jabber at the moment.

For this reason, my Psi does not automatically start with OS (I use 
auto-start only for util/service like things), and my Psi doesn't 
automatically connect when started (sometimes I may want to check 
something in history, etc, without showing all world that I am near 
computer right now).

Now, as I said, I use hibernation as shutdown. So, even if I was in 
"chatting mood" just before sleeping, it doesn't mean I want to be 
online next morning.

Yes, as "dev" guessed, this come from desktop computer experience. 
However, it's been a month since I got a laptop at work, and.. I still 
didn't change my mind ;) It even allows me to give a better example: if 
I was chatting just before leaving home, it doesn't mean I want to be 
online after arriving to work.
And to say something about "moving laptop around" usecase: One of the 
first things that I changed on my laptop was disabling suspend mode on 
laptop close (I think there was a smarter way to say this in English... 
I mean.. closing like you close a book, etc). I don't want to my laptop 
to do some strange things just because I want to move it to another desk ;)
