If I see what implants they have (had), it helps me put together a better picture of the battle for my own personal after action reports.
Besides that, it sends them back to their medical station, which can help prevent them from reshipping nearby and ruining my day.
It's actually the reverse of what you would claim. There is never a reason to not pod someone. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Didn't even read my post, or what? "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

You are in battle, you are improving your odds of winning Vs a ganker podding a newb for lulz.
Both are useful, actually.
Better they get podded as a newb by a ganker so that they learn about updating their clone, than a few million skillpoints later.
It can be of nothing but benefit to you, and it can be a near guaranteed detriment to your opponent. And if you aren't meaning to inflict loss on the other guy, why would you bother killing him in the first place?

Free tip.
If they're undocked, you already have their answer. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

I agree with pretty much everything except this statement. There are, indeed, times when you DON'T want to pod someone. I've been in many fleet engagements where podding people would send them back to their station where they can reship and start traveling back to the fight, as opposed to leaving them in their pod and letting them manually jump back to their reshipping station which would take much more time. But generally speaking, I always try to kill the pod.
Even then, I would argue that it's still best to get the pod.
Your supposition is that the fight is occurring fairly close to their home station, and that by podding them, they can reship faster, yes?
My thoughts are:
They still lose implants, which can be of use.
They lose any eyes they might have on my fleet from that person.
They lose, and this is critical, any warp in point they might get from that person.
