My aircraft is at a strip which is not on charts but is near two which are marked. If I follow current requirements and broadcast on area I will add to the "yap" but will probably not inform those I most need to of my intentions as they will be on CTAF/ Multicom.
Not all aircraft have two VHFs and I know VFR is see and avoid.
Listening on area gives you some situation awareness and indication of what IFR traffic may be headed for your destination before you engage them on CTAF, if required.
