True, but once you un-suspend the hold, you can be waiting up to another 2 weeks for it to become available to you, so you end up trying to play a timing game, hoping it becomes available before you get too far into another book. It's even worse if you are trying to binge read a series.
Sometimes the convenience of slightly stretching fair use trumps other considerations (for some people, in some situations).
