The reason to do it is exactly what you stated, but the reason that it will spoil if put away hot and covered is that the steam will condense off the top and fall back into the hot liquid below, the cooling process is only going on at the exterior of the pot SLOWLY. The condensate adds a third temp to the equation, and things go kaboom.
