It creates a clear distinction between user-defined fields and protocol fields. User-defined fields are only for display (and only for display in a confined region of the profile), while protocol fields can actually influence the behavior of the account, like set your Lightning address or avatar.
User-defined fields are an amorphous blob the user can do whatever they want with but should not be relied upon in any way, kind of like pronouns.
