Given the 100's of entirely adequate copies of CDs that I've made
with a PC, I can't imagine why a person would do it any other way
unless extremely high volumes were needed, and you wanted to burn
many copies at a time.

Convenience largely. If you're just sitting there listening to music
and think 'mmm, copy of that would be nice', you just press a couple
of buttons and it's done.

Which is pretty much what CD copying on a PC takes to do.

I can use a computer up to 18 hours a day
for work related stuff, and while I (too) *can* use it to copy cds, I
find a standalone 'hifi' recorder does what I want without computer
bother.

Whether a computer is a bother has something to do with how its set up and
how computer literate you are.

Convenience does cost money, and perhaps that's why you can't
understand the reason,

I've seen more than a few people abandon their stand-alone CD burners for a
PC.

although the OP's justification does seem a little weird.

Yup, weird.
