One of the reasons I do SET is if we are very very delayed pushing back and I need to get out of the ramp in a timely manner. As soon as we’re out, start the second one.
But with NH 90% of my trips, I just start both. It’s easier on them, once they have some time in the company, I feel more comfortable using a little more of their brain.
Some CAs likes to overwhelm their FOs for stupid things.

That's reason enough. I think we're leading the charge in those events. Probably those guys saving that extra 3 gallons of Jet-A.

Most of the Nh I’ve flown are previous military and need some part 121 training or extra time to get everything ready. Anyway the 320 keeps high N1 to keep AC flowing so starting 2 engines “saves” more fuel than just using 1.

the idle bump plus APU usage are nowhere even close to the idle of two engines. Even running at breakaway thrust on the running engine is less than idling both.

737 Max Update
“March 10 (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines Inc anticipates that the deliveries of the Boeing 737 Max 10 aircraft to the airline could be delayed until as late as 2027, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday, citing an interview with the company CEO Ed Bastian.”
“Delta is "comfortable" with protections it negotiated against possible delays in its contract to buy the Max 10, Bastian said, declining to be more specific, according to the report.“

I hope the "comfortable with protections" means we will start with MAX 9s. Otherwise with the 220 parkings and 321NEO delivery slow down, hiring would slow down even further. On the bright side 350/330 deliveries continue and all parked 717s being returned to service so it unlikely Delta stops hiring completely as others have

As for the MAX, I believe it was never more than a place holder. Hopefully they convert those orders into something more useful. Like 787s to replace the 76ERs and 765s.
