Sure, the behavior is a little counterintuitive. On the other hand, I don't see why, once you've started doing your turn offline, that you wouldn't just go ahead and finish it offline, and upload when you're done.

There are many different reasons. For example, say, I'm doing the turn offline, and then something urgent comes up that needs attention. So I want to connect to the server to find out if I'm the Last person. If I am, in order not to drag everyone down, I might just finish doing the turn hastily (sub-optimally). On the other hand, if I see that I'm not the Last, I may hold off doing the turn until later.
Here's another reason: I'm doing diplomacy outside of the game (via PM, e-mail or whatever) and I've already set some orders. After a while I don't receive a response, so I try to connect to see if the player in question has already done his/her turn, but I don't necessarily want to upload my own turn at that time.
More flexibility is always handy, Sheap, like when you asked me why I would want to be able to download and upload turns via a browser.
