Probably because most routers so far don't have enough flash memory to
hold two partitions. I have seen this used on some Professional NAS systems.
Pretty useful though !
The information I have from Belkin about this feature how it works is:
If the new flashed partition has some problem (e.g: Kernel Panic) U-Boot
will try 3 times and if it still fails it will automatically revert back
to boot from the previous working partition.

partition or Alternative Boot partition. The sysupgrade has the
ping-pong effect:
