Alright, lets not get into this..LOL
Some people prefer NEVER tethering to a system or dock...and IF the batteries die, they like to be able to switch them out without having to tether or dock the controller. (Say they forgot to charge it, a friend/family member/child disconnected it etc.) It allows instant use of the controller in a situation where one may not sit close to their console...even if the battery is dead/dying.
Having options is better than no option.
