The main drain is the CPU which takes the bulk of the power . As I said above, either they want to feed the CPU and the rest separately to avoid common coupling effects, or it is simply a marketing gimmick . The answer doesn't have to be complicated or hi tech . Maybe they just didn't want to run high currents too far across the board because of voltage drop in thin printed circuit tracks .
