IMO not that's too complicated, just that you sometimes need to spread
"linked" objects among and that the need to move them together is here.
Some examples :

- you have a link adress http of email and had created a PDF link over it
(on a new layer). If you move the text frame, you'd like to move the link
with it

- you have pictures on a  layer and text on another (practical to manage
sources and display, or manage same ressources for several language
document where you would make one layer / lang. You would like to move them
together too

in fact, we often use layer to "split" the content and organise. But all
the contents can be related in the layout so that the need to modify them
at once is not so rare.
