I believe most do siphon just to keep from having a small amount of stagnate water sitting in the tank for several months or to simply get it as clean as possible.
I was merely replying to the post where the guy said he drained, siphoned and then added a little antifreeze to the tank. No need for that.

Right. I wasn't questioning anything you said in your post, just adding a little bit to your excellent answer. In fact I agree with it entirely.. Also, I forgot to say that I usually rinse out the tank to remove sediment from the anode rod after draining. Of course, that still leaves behind some water in the tank.
