There is no other purpose for it other than back reeling. As to being less durable. On less expensive reels it can be a problem. And even on more expensive reels it is just one more part that can fail. Unless you fish a ton...meaning 5 days a week 365 a year...they will probably hold up. I found out years ago when fishing one reel only, 5 days week, you will find out pretty quick which reels will hold up and which ones won't.
