Many people have 10Mbps or lower. At 10Mbps, downloading 12GB takes easily 3h during which time it is nearly impossible for you to do anything else online with your PC at the time. And some people have jobs, and a lot of times you don't even get the full potential of your download speeds. So maybe one such person might log on and have an hour or two that they could put into downloading.... and then the next day another hour or two, etc.

Not everybody can leave their computer on 24/7, some people have laptops that they need to take with them on the go, etc.

There could be many reasons.

Heck, I remember before I got comcast last year, I was stuck on 6Mbps. That would take almost 6 hours of downloading to get 12GB.
