I would imagine for convenience - if their reasons are similar to what
mine were.

i.e if you have made several changes to rc.conf then manually
restarting several services via /etc/rc.d or /usr/local/etc/rc.d or
running ifconfig is monotonous.

It would be substantially easy if there was a tool/command to just
re-read rc.conf ...
