The busy status, at least in some clients affected what sort of notification the recipient got. My phone does have a global do-not-disturb function, but it doesn't notify the sender, and the only real bypass for it is a voice call.
I want to be able to pre-notify all senders that I won't be replying quickly so there's no confusion. In an ideal world, I could set this in one place on my phone or desktop and the 8 different chat apps I use would all get respect it. Of course SMS can't support it, but nobody who has anything important to say to me would send me an SMS.
