It seems like GKE now allows deleting all node pools, so you don’t pay for nodes but you still get a free Kubernetes API. 
Anyone tried this?

Some companies spin the node count down to 0 overnight and on weekends for test clusters.

For test clusters I think it's simply ease of use. Certain resources don't need to be recreated every day. It's also faster to spin up new nodes than a new cluster. When replacing a cluster, it's nice to have a simple rollback option around for awhile, especially if it's free.

Would it be a problem if you had to reactivate the cluster explicitly? Like suspend/resume? Since that's what it sounds like you are doing?

Also could be because there’s already a cluster that’s configured with secrets, iam accounts, daemonsets. I suspect not all devs declaratively deploy everything in the cluster every morning.

It would be useful to enumerate those things
