Because sometimes (or always) you're using the terminal multiplexer on a remote machine over ssh with no graphical session
The tiling window manager should handle that too, right? I suppose you'd have to re-ssh, and you wouldn't land in the same directory by default, which adds extra friction.
Mainly tmuxor screen keep sessions alive on the remote server, so processes don't get killed when I disconnect.
