Overhead bin space is a big one. Even as am someone who travels with a duffle at almost always fits. I’ve had to check it before being in the last group, waiting til the end.

One other one I ran into with the “dead last” strategy was I ended up waiting in line anyhow… on the jet bridge, which was worse than waiting in a queue in a nice airport terminal. So my purely practical brain says to go at the beginning of my group, get it over with, and then I can be settled with no worries rather than having to pay attention to the boarding sequence at all.
