Some people can become extremely frightened or nervous during takeoff. Being able to lose yourself in a book can make a world of difference in these situations.
Then, too, there is always the concern that people will be issued "flight readiness" orders (i.e., turn everything off and leave it off until we're in the air) and then 15 minutes becomes 2 hours becomes 8 hours, etc.
And, also, if you're Chaotic aligned, you tend to just be annoyed at rules that may not actually have any valid purpose.
