To allow a variable (say a DS) referenced in a PI relate to a variable already defined in the code.
This could be done with *Entry Plist - but you get a variable already defined if you try to do it in free-form.
That difference was where this thread started.

I have to admit that I don't think that we even thought of allowing a
parameter in the PI to refer to a variable that was already defined.
I think it didn't occur to us was because the PI parameter is more of a
"definition" than a *ENTRY PLIST parameter is. I was going to say
"especially for a LIKEDS definition", but that rule was in place long
before LIKEDS.
You're right, that could be done. I think it would need some kind of
keyword on the non-PI definition though, to indicate the programmer's
intention for it to actually be a PI parameter. Or maybe a special kind
of PI parameter that says the actual parameter is defined elsewhere.
