Yes, all could be put into the standard comments field, but the requesters didn't want to do it that way.
Custom comments show (often partially) in a column on the library view, and in full in the book information screen.
Edit: If you edit a custom comment from the library view, then an editing box opens in the foreground showing you the same box you see in edit-metadata.
Edit 2: One rationale that should be mentioned came from a content server user. S/he wanted to control what information went on the web, and could do that by segregating the various kinds into different comments columns. Some columns are shown, and others are not.
