Hold opens

I was just curious, what was the big advantage of a Luger having a hold open? I definitely see the benefit of other types of automatics having the slide stay open after the mag is empty but with the Luger still having to pull up on the toggle after swapping mags doesn’t seem to save time or hand movements. A 1911 it’s just a simple thumb pull on the slide lever and off you go.
