Why bootable SSD and or USB device with no HDD?

I see many posts here from PC/Laptop user's who have no bootable HDD

Repeat- No hard drive in their systems.

My question is: What is this all about?

The problems that they post would not exist if they had a hard drive. Money is not the problem because they are using expensive SSD devices. A laptop only has one screw holding the hard drive in and a hard drive is a most simple install on a desktop and help is available here .

Something about gaming?

    HDDs have long been the slowest path in a data stream. A second, probably more apt answer is the noise reduction achieved by removing the HD and slowing fans to a crawl.
