Hibernate and suspend are no longer necessary or helpful functions either (on machines sold today).
I suspend on my Laptop, all the time. Quite apart from the speed issue, it's handy to be able to halt and resume, everything.
Quite right. Only someone who never uses a laptop could think hibernate and suspend are no longer needed.
I suspend desktops that I occasionally need to access remotely, my HTPC (when the TV is off), and more. Suspend is hardly only for laptops.
The desktops that I suspend are supposed to wake up and hibernate on power failure (before the UPS dies), but I haven't tested that in a while.
