    If it’s an airline, it’s likely to allow them to more accurately predict passenger weight. Planes have weight ratings, and need to be sure their loads are distributed appropriately, (like not having everyone in the very back of the plane). Differentiating the tickets will help them flag potential weight problems before boarding even begins.
