Tasmanian devils are usually solitary, and are nocturnal or crepuscular (twilight) in their habits. So it would make sense that they would seek effectively well hidden dens during the day. They sometimes like to rest in sunlight.
This may be only part of the answer, but Tasmanian devils give off a horrendous stench, and they don't have to release the scent as do skunks. As a result, it would probably have been a survival strategy and there would have been some evolutionary pressure for them to suppress their scent in whatever way possible to avoid predators.
