Beyond that, there is a meta-game aspect. If the players at the table generally chop, you'll stick out if you don't. It is a sign that you aren't there just for fun. That makes people play better against you.
That said, people don't get upset if you don't chop, as long as you consistently not chop. In LLSNL, it is rare things are folded to the blinds in the first place. You can play several sessions and never have the situation come up.
Table scorn is placed on people who look at their cards before deciding to chop. Hence Kurt's comment.
