I do not see a reason to do that.
Moreover, I would love to have an option to create a new pinned tab when
clicking on a link in a pinned tab (right click-->Open in a new pinned
tab?).
(For example, you start your day with Google Reader on and you go to GMail,
but at the end of the day, you close GMail and leave Google Reader open at
the end of your workday. Chrome remains open all of the time.)

But I guess my use case is uncommon.
