Not the person you replied to, but I can help with an example:
I have the browser reopen the tabs I had open last time, but keeps unloaded until I click on them.
The tabs are in a tree hierarchy, meaning I can collapse an entire group while keeping them all open.
My work involves juggling up to 50 different accounts each for a hand full of websites, so containers allow me to quickly swap between accounts signed into the same page.
Personally, I can’t use bookmarks because if they’re out of sight, they get forgotten. Keeping things in an open tab is like having the browser constantly bugging me to remind me that I have to do this thing. It doesn’t guarantee that it gets addressed in a timely manner, but with the alternative it’s guaranteed to not be done at all.
It also helps to keep my place in my work. There’s things that I’ll always have open because I need quick access to them and don’t want the friction of trying to find the page to lead to procrastination. Same with anything that’s relevant to work in progress.

Fair points, though what advantage does keeping unloaded tabs serve over using bookmarks?

So like astroturfing?
Not at all. Just managing clients stuff on portals that don’t allow for delegated access to a single account.
