As some one who has CC on all the time if possible, here is the simple reason why I do it: it saves time.

- when I play game, I don't need to restart or rewind if I missed a sentence.

- when I watch movie, similarly, I can capture way more context without having to ask "what did the character say?"

- when I click on a short clip, I can understand without having to turn on and off audio.

It's all about convenience and saving time for me.

Also a lot of times you get plot info from the captions. Like I won’t hear anything but the caption is [ominous foot steps] or [Krish slamming the door]
