the same reason people like using checklists, anon: there's a feeling of accomplishment when a task is completely finished. i can move onto something else and not have to worry about having tags hovering over my head for a bit.
granted, i do like finishing tags as they come in, but there are situations where i like to sit on my tags before i post them. for example, when i'm at work, i'm usually multitasking between keeping an eye on my work and doing tags. while it keeps my hands busy in between tasks, it's harder for me to check them over for quality/errors. i keep my tags in a text file, then when i get home, i can look over them over dinner, do any necessary edits, and send them. in more dire cases, if i have a heavy workload over the week and i just want to sleep when i get home, i can accumulate tags over those days, then look at them over the weekend once i've had some sleep.
my ideal is just doing tags and sending them when they're ready, but i'm a busy person and my schedule rarely works out in a way where i can spend focused amounts of time just sitting and tagging for hours the way i used to. this way, i can get my tags done and still have a life.
there are a lot of reasons to do it anon, and my partners are very understanding about my consistency. sometimes it's a sign of a flaky tagger, but in my case, since my tag bombs normally look like someone who has a one tag a day schedule from the outside, it's literally just that with a few delays for irl.
