Actually I usually won't delay gravity until level 8 unless specific matchups require me to, not the opposite. (ermergherd I disagree with Aranium how dare me) The main use for gravity (unless you upgrade it) is to zone enemies. In a similar way I max Q on Orianna before W because while the latter gives me more damage, the former reduces the cooldown of her ball, which zones the enemy mid. Often times I find that gravity helps me secure kills I would otherwise miss. You could die to a gank even if you don't overextend too much without gravity. I've gotten several double kills because both the enemy jungler and mid dive me when I'm low on health and I stun, destroy and improve them. Also it happens all too often that I get an early kill and am able to roam at level 4 and gank bot lane (the rare times I get teleport xD). I just don't see the advantage of getting more damage on your Q at level 4, especially considering that at level 4 you should be using Q defensively, even more so if you don't have escapes. Sure, you might get lucky once when the enemy dives you and you deal that extra bit of damage and have it returned as a shield, and it might just kill an enemy, but the uses for gravity are too many to delay it. (I haven't played normal games in a long time - too much ARAM, so idk if preseason jungle changes these things)
