I think maybe once or twice I might have done this when people started travelling again and airports were melting down with reports of 4+ hour security lineups. Hopefully we won't see that again in our future.
But the situation where I do end up doing this is that I often get my days filled up with meetings, and there may not be a reasonable gap where I can drive to the airport and clear security, so I end up going before the start of my work day for a later flight.
