Isn't that obvious? To save energy when I'm not using the computer (e.g. during the night or after 
work). Why would I have my PC running the whole time and waste energy? And to pre-empt your 
question "why don't you poweroff?" the answer is because it's faster and more convenient. When I 
start my PC I need to input passwords to: unlock two encrypted partitions, log into TDE, unlock 
the TDE wallet, unlock GPG keyring, unlock SSH keys, unlock password manager. So that's seven 
times I need to input various passwords. When I wake from suspend I only have to provide one to 
unlock the screen.
