Come on.
Any "explanation" involving any of the words "quantum", "polarity", "phase" and "singularity" will suffice to provide complete clarity regarding why that, or indeed anything else in star trek, is so.
How can you call yourself a trekkie without realizing this you two bit Ferangi!

Yes, you are correct that they were used to both transport within a ship and to other vessels/planets.
Who else aboard a starship can be called "chief" if there is no one manning the transporter?
Besides, the ominous implications of the transport coming back to life after the Chief shuts it down and walks away would hardly be as ominous if there is no chief to walk away?

Be very careful about asking plot hole questions about Star Trek..,
