What's the point of wearing a coat that zips all the way up to your chin if you're going to zip it a quarter of the way down so that you can cover your chest/neck area with a scarf? Why not just zip up your coat/jacket? I can understand doing this with certain types of coats that leave your neck exposed, but why do it with a coat that covers you up to your chin?

For the same reason that women wear earrings and men wear neckties. It's not utilitarian. It's visual interest.

Maybe a fashion statement, maybe because they don't want to zip up their coats up to their chins, maybe because it is their coat/body and preference?

Well, for the sake of argument, i might have been cold enough earlier for that person to wear both a fully zipped-up and a scarf, but they warmed up and so they unzipped their jacket a bit. That might be preferable to carrying a scarf around. (if you don't have somewhere to put it)
There are different reasons. It can be a fashion statement. I guess some people like to show off an expensive scarf such as Burberry. Accessories can help you look "pulled together". A scarf in a flattering color can brighten up your face. This way you can wear a coat in a color that would otherwise make you look pale. One reason for me is that wool irritates my skin, so I can't have a wool coat touching my neck. Also, an open neckline with a colorful scarf would be more flattering on a well endowed woman than a zipped-up space in a single color.
I think a scarf looks nice, but I don't wear them...I have long hair, and it messes it up....gets all knotted if I have a high collar, scarf, hoodie, etc...
