It's not? The world of computers is filled with hovering for descriptions and details.

It is but an input field is not really an element you would hover for more info. If additional info for the user is required, some question mark icon next to field does the job well because it yells 'hey! something might be confusing or not so obvious'.

I might be an exception but can't recall a case when I would hover input field.

Yeah but that doesn't make it a good idea.
