From what I know, one purpose of this feature would be to allow for very
realistic string sounds. You could then have all your "bow downs" on one
group and the "bow ups" on another.
Might also make sense for more variations in hihat patterns or even guitars.
And there might be tons of other possibilities...

Uhm - how comes I heard that complaint before (I won't tell where...)?
You're 100% right on that one, two up/down arrows right above each other
would make more sense.
