Good point, I admit I can't find a compelling reason for that either. 
Perhaps someone else can?

Also, an interesting use-case comes to mind, where you can have for 
example an alarm for each instance, all of them named 'cpu_alarm', but 
with unique action per instance. You could then retrieve all these 
alarms at once with a proper query.
