To me it's just another security layer. If one instance goes down, or an account gets hacked/banned etc I can just swap over to another one. Also I have different sets of subscriptions for each account, so if I'm looking for a different flavor of my feed I just swap to the associated account.

Exactly, especially having different subscriptions for each account.
