Mindless routers (which are frighteningly many) that cache the results and won't show the true state of upstream connection, which is an important thing. There are a lot less transparent HTTP proxies that wouldn't respect no-store than mindless routers trying their best to cache results.

Don't need internet access to read a cached record from a DNS service on localhost, on the LAN, etc.
