There are many instances where it sounds much better. Suspending a mic may be an option too if it has freedom to subtly move. Actually there are many degrees of freedom.
If the mic is very still the sound sounds still.
For example micing the speaker of a synthesizer or organ with a stationary stand.
The speaker is stationary, the mic is dead still, which is very unnatural as a real listener subtly moves even if the deviation is a few millimeters . This gives a low frequency Doppler Leslie effect to a real listener which makes the sound alive and it is very easy to verify by experiment. Holding a mic by hand should give more of this effect as a hand cannot be dead still and the hand-mic mass is lower making acceleration easier.
