Silly question regarding multiple commentary sections in PG

I noticed that one of the bug fixes in beta 12 is:

Commentaries section can now be added to Passage Guide multiple times.

I'm sure I'm missing the point, but why would you want to do that? Can someone explain to me what the benefit is of having two (or more) commentaries sections in a PG?

You can set each Commentary section to each use a different collection, which allows you to have different types of commentaries in each section (based on however you may have built the corresponding collections).

Yes, for example, some people might want to break it down into Scholarly, Pastoral, and Lay commentaries (the categories used in Logos's commentary product guide). Or Academic, Intermediate, Expository, and Unclassified commentaries, as these sample collections from the wiki show how to do:
