What's the point of a static IP on common devices?

I see most of my devices give me the option to assign a static IP to them. For instance my PC, my MacBook, or my Xbox One. I mean what's the point? Why should I care if my Xbox gets assigned a different IP everytime? I heard and I can easily understand that a static IP is useful for servers, but what's the point on consumer devices like an Xbox or a MacBook?
