What a silly question (no offense intended), IMO..

For one, for connecting flights. One has to go through immigration and customs to only check in, then go back through the same again. Can easily take an hour and make one miss a connection.

Second, if departing from the airport directly, why make a detour to go to check-in desks or kiosks (which usually don't work anyway - for what the user posted here certainly won't and will have the very same problem, so have to go and stand in line for check-in desks) vs. go directly to security? Takes several minutes more, thus having to arrive at airport earlier, or cutting down time to try to get something to eat inside.

And so on..
