there are a lot of other reasons besides the ones described above why this is important, for example, you simply don't always have access to the internet. or, for any reason in the world, you will only have a speed/traffic-limited connection, when you need to download a some gigabytes of files, you will understand that you were luck of irresponsibility.
Unfortunately, people understand this only after they have fallen and it hurts. Until that moment, hope and laziness outweigh the scales.
I have found it especially useful when migrating to a new system. I obviously have to chase after updates, but a great number of my installers are "already downloaded".
