Mostly because they can. They're probably just trying things out to see what costs more, a bunch of SCC or the occasional GS that will be caused by no SC. I've seen 3 pilots in the same days available bucket get the 2359 SC. For the two senior pilots, that's pretty much free money, but pennies on the dollar if it saves a GS. SCC credit needs to go up and be paid whether used or not.
