Because often you can’t easily get back “in less than a second” as a tab is the culmination of a large stack of combined thought+browsing. I keep it open because I can more conveniently context-switch back to it when I need to, rather than attempt to retract my steps from a search query all over again. An open tab is state in suspension - it’s sleep mode. A bookmark is hibernation.
