I'd agree with that theory - a big part of why I leave tabs open is that I'm not deliberately stashing them until later, I just get pulled into (or sometimes distracted by) something else and will, eventually, make my way back by virtue of closing tabs I'm done with. Its a fun surprise for later, and lets me entirely skip the mental friction of deciding whether something is important enough to bookmark and how I'd categorize that bookmark etc.

I look at Bookmarks vs Tabs in the same way I look at Google+'s Circles vs Instagram's "everyone vs close friends". One is far more powerful, the other forces far fewer decisions and is seemingly good enough for just about everyone.
