Because it's extremely convenient and I don't remember ever losing anything on my Mac. I close the lid in the evening, open it the next morning and everything is there exactly like I left it. MariaDB is still running, my IDE is still running, and I can jump right in. Day after day after day, my uptime is usually the number of days since the last macOS update.

The longest I’ve had my work laptop up is around 40 days. Usually shorter, as it slowly corrupts itself until it BSODed with memory management or page fault.
