SSDs offer a massively improved computing experience. Boot speed is only a tiny part of that. It is very hard to quantify exactly why SSDs are so good. You just have to use one for a while and only then try going back to a HDD based system, you'll notice immediately and it will drive you up the wall. It is just 5ms here, 5ms there, you tab between this and that, and there is lag, you click this and there is lag, etc. With SSDs it is fluid and smooth. It is like comparing an iPhone to an Android 2.xx device. You could just feel that it wasn't as fluid and smooth and it bugged you. PS - Yes, Android 4.0 is as fluid and smooth as iPhones. It was just the first example I could think of.
