Default oil change

I have always changed oil after the engine was at operating temperature. But I was wondering why. If the engine in question was at operating temp when it was shut down and hasn't been run for a day or 2 and the ambient temp is in the 80's, wouldn't the oil have been all drained to the lowest point anyway. Since I'm retired I don't put many miles on my daily driver. Why nor just drain the oil for an hour with out heating it up?
