Some of the newer electronic bleed valves don't like repetitive cycles of low voltage (engine start up and shut down) and therefore you can get a much higher TBF by shutting them off during that phase.

The above is a pilot's interpretation of how the maintenance folks explained it. Besides, it's in the checklist.
