So people can't track you.

Also, it stops thieves that can try to brute force the address.

If you have 50 BTC it is better to have it in 100 addresses instead of 1 address, because if you loose that 1 address, your btc is gone. If you loose 1 address on trezor, only 1/100th of your btc is gone. What sounds better to you?

Can you explain how I could lose an address? Is that possible?
