You don't leave a car in N because that is neutral. The transmission is not engaged, and the car can roll freely. That is a safety issue. The car could start rolling and hit someone or something causing damage, injury, or possible death.
N is used when you need the car to roll freely, like when being picked up by a wrecker, or towed by another vehicle while not under power.

As long as you engage the parking brake N is the same a P. Neither one of them is engaging the gears.

Probably for towing purposes. You don't really want to tow a car with an automatic, it's bad for the torque converter.

I use it to check my transmission fluid level as the car is running, with the parking brake on, of course.

I use Neutral when the car is needing pushed or towed, not when its running.

Put it in N = Neutral ( when you are towing it)
(when you are pushing it, if it runs out of gas)

If you are indecisive whether you want to go forwards or backwards. That is what that is for.
