Because I often have to leave my computer and I don't want it to unnecessarily use electricity.

S3 uses less power than S1 and shuts down the fans, which is a plus during the night.

HTPC needs it even more, as I can have it in S3 while not in use and it wakes itself up when scheduled recording is due, and is instantly ready when I want to use it manually.

And even if you or I never use it, it's something that just should work!
