Well, some people put multiple projects into one folder, which quickly can get messy. With the project units you and the IDE know which files actually belong to the project. There are several places in the IDE, where it makes a difference. For example checking for duplicates and when moving an unit to another folder the IDE can adjust the project's unit search path.
