I mean, it's the choice between paying your full mortgage and partially defraying it. I am not sure what changes economically once you are net negative with the mortgage - it still makes marginal sense to rent it out

I suspect two things:

1) Actively looking for that right renter willing to pay a premium for a particular property/part of town.

2) There's probably tax benefits to the lost income and mortgage expenses while looking for a renter.
