For me it has to do with adjusting the song to suit my limited vocal range and capability as a singer. If I find I can't get the vocal volume on the lower notes in the song, I put the capo on. It means I sing in a higher key and I can get the volume I need in the lower notes.
If it was more accomplished as a singer, perhaps I'd be able to adjust more readily. Not sure really, don't care. The capo solves the problem for me.
