A few just off of the top of my head:

  
- So that "track-only" artists can be suppressed from the artist list
  when browsing artists.
  
  
- To determine formatting and presentation in web and other
  interfaces.  A compilation album is most often by "Various Artists". 
  Otherwise you're left to choose one (which is wrong) or all of them
  (we've seen that before, and it's very ugly).
  
  
- Grouping.  Having a pseudo-artist of "Various Artists" means that
  users can easily find these albums under that artist.
  

If any/all/none of the above work as you expect in SqueezeCenter then
it's an implementation issue, not a conceptual one.  Go to a music
store and you'll undoubtedly see (probably by genre) a bin with
compilation albums that can't be grouped under a particular artist.
