what's the problem? it's not like you dump the entire contents of your system's ram to disk any time use hibernate /s

    Even without hibernation, data in apps you have open will end up in the swap if your system is ever RAM-constrained.

    Generally it only happens to programs you keep running in the background and might not use for a long time that also don't have much background activity. For example password managers.
