Edit: Before I get quoted on this with another incomplete answer. Picture this, you have 2 bowls with salted water in them. You want to get rid of the water and just keep the salt in. You put them both to heat up but at different heating speeds. They both get up to temperature and both end up evaporating all of the water. How is evaporating the water faster helpfull in any way (unless you tell me you turn on the car and turn it off after a minute or so of driving, if so you are your own undoing).

You answered your own question. If the oil gets up to operating temp faster, then it has more time to remove moisture. If you're on a 500 mile trip, then it isn't an issue. But if you're driving 10 minute errands here and there, like how 90% of daily driving is done, then it's a much bigger issue.
