This is primarily to keep multi-way switch implementations in sync. If linked at the device level, every time you press on or off on the device it activates the scene and all of the physical devices in that scene are keep in sync.
HOWEVER, if you turn on or off a device in the app, the scene will not be activated/deactivated. Only the single physical device is turned on or off causing multi-way configurations to become out of sync (some on some off).
This feature would allow a user to add in-app devices as scene directors so that if you turn on or off the device in the director app by the device control, it will also activate the scene just like the physical device and therefore now would be a true virtual representation of the physical switch.
