As way of an illustration of the legion of different emacs usages, I use
C-z to suspend the frame several times a day. This is because I have an
emacs always open in a terminal and C-z is a simple way of getting back
to the terminal - easier, I find, than opening a shell in the already
terminal-running emacs. C-c C-z is not as convenient.
