Personally, I don't see any advantages either unless their account was hacked into. It only makes returning to admin duties harder.
If I were to go away for a few months because I have other obligations in my life, I'd hate to spend extra time trying to find a bureaucrat to get me back to admin status.
It only creates extra work.

The only reason I can think of would be that having inactive admins on the books might inflate admin numbers, but we already have [[WP:LA]], which is split into "active", "semi-active" and "inactive" groups as it is.
