As all day RER service becomes offered in greater Toronto, a later train will allow business travels to return to Ottawa even if the meeting is not right in downtown. Also, an 8 pm departure allows for someone to enjoy dinner in Toronto before returning on the evening train.
This is even more the case with Montreal where an even later departure allows Montreal rail day trips possible.
Also, more and later departures allow for better connectivity. For example, when I went to New York, I was forced to stay overnight in Montreal because I could not reliably connect with last Ottawa bound train.
