We have seen a lot of questions.. How would voluntary departure status apply to you? Voluntary departure is going back on your own when you have a removal order.
The best reasons I can see from the list is change or adjustment of status. Again I am opening up the discussion for all of us, as I too have close friend who would like to apply for TPS now who did not apply initially but were eligible.

Voluntary Departure :
Voluntary Departure is often viewed as a relief of last resort. It allows an alien to leave the U.S. without a stigmatizing formal removal order. An alien allowed to voluntarily depart admits removability, but does not have a bar to seeking admission at a port-of-entry at any time. If an alien fails to depart within the time granted, they will receive a fine and a 10-year bar to several forms of relief from deportation.
