I don't understand this argument.
TCP won't send data until the initial SYN is acked. And the SYN can't
be sent until the ARP is resolved.

The only use case for this is for applications that open lots of connections
to the same destination as once (a.k.a TCP accelerators) to get around
TCP slow start.
