I think you have answered your own question.
In a hobby situation you may have days or even weeks off the bench. In industry you would have been young when taught the theory, and of course you'd be doing practical work, design, or servicing. This keeps your mind active in what you have been taught, perhaps not the deep and involved stuff but it is easier to remember when you work in electronics day in and day out. Since I finished in my shop in 2006 I have forgotten a lot and need to refresh the memory every now and then.
