Why do so many websites bother to have a "keep me signed in" check box if it does anything but actually keep me signed in?

I mean, they never said "me" refers to the one who checked the box. So may be the one who wrote the line is kept signed in when you check the box.

Just a guess:
It's probably bypassing something of an automated session timeout of inactivity.
I don't know what website you're using but if it's a bank or something tax related I'd say that's what it does.
