Reason for Rotating Propeller to Vertical When Done

Under "Securing Airplane," in addition to items like tie-downs, chocks, control lock, etc., my flight school's Cessna 172 checklist says "Prop... VERTICAL".

Why does this matter? Is there some substantive reason for proactively doing this?

I'm not super excited about hand turning the prop without a good reason.
