I would answer both multitasking and to not miss words. I watch YouTube at work, primarily audio, but sometimes need to take a glance to see what word was said.
For people who are multitasking it’s obviously most important to have audio so you can listen while you do whatever, but if you miss something for any reason then with subs tuned on you can also quickly look, and probably have time to catch what you missed.
Hearing and reading are complimentary means of understanding. It’s not an “either-or” situation.
Multi-tasking? What do these people do while reading subtitles? And how is that easier than listening and doing some other thing?
multitasking, for most, means watching tv while doom scrolling
might not be an exclusive option poll

I put subtitles on but don’t need them, just like them. You just look at the screen and read them
if you want to screw around on your phone, you can just put something on you’ve watched multiple times or listen.
