It's nicer from a management perspective that the agent can survive hotplug/unplug of the channel device, or be started prior to the installation of the channel device's driver without and still be able to resume normal function afterward. On linux there are alternatives like systemd to support this, but on w32 --retry-path is the only option so it makes sense to set it by default when installed as a w32 service.
