A bit of a sweeping generalization there Paul :).
There are lots of people who travel frequently on business all over the US -
I have been one of them, though less so these days. Often trips might be at
short notice and take in multiple states. It's also very common for people
to take road trips across multiple states. Given the somewhat clunky nature
of getting downloads and transferring them to GPS units, combined with the
ridiculously cheap cost of storage cards these days, I think that a US
extract would be very useful to a lot of potential users of US OSM data.
