Exactly, but what if you're sending dumb munitions, a couple of tanks, or relief to a disaster zone?

You could spare to blow all that during takeoff. Whatever, let's try again in four hours.

Launch windows generally aren't open-ended and typically only last a few hours because they are orbit-dependent. That's why when a launch is scrubbed, a window often doesn't open again until days later.
