? why would someone need blue tooth for their home phone? are people really on the phone that much?

and excuse my non-geek ignorance, but instead of using a home phone that "taps" into your cell phone minutes why wouldn't you just use your cell phone? I only ask because I don't know how it works, I'm not trying to bash
