Well, a piano doesn't create a new group of strings every time you hit
a key, does it? ;-)
Seriously, if the strings are vibrating when the hammer hits them
again, that *does* have an effect on the sound - and it does on a
guitar too - but that's a synth implementation detail if you want to
emulate that properly. Differentiating between reusing the voice/VVID
and grabbing a new one allows explicitly telling the synth what you
intend, without the synth making guesses based on pitch or whatever.
