Honestly?
As a tab hoarder, I have wondered why I do this so many times. I think the answer is that Firefox's bookmarking is ... not great. It is always slow and clunky-feeling to use. You're forced to put these bookmarks into a tree structure, which isn't awful until you realize that you have to remember just how you stored it later. Just for reference, I often find myself running SQL commands against Firefox's places.sqlite DB to locate a page I visited.
I think tab hoarding could be greatly reduced by a series of thoughtful improvements to bookmarking.
