It is also in how you land a fish. Lance Egan has caught Pike and Carp on a zero weight. Fight with the butt, and keep tip down.
But back to the question, it can also be as simple as how fast do you want to land a fish. Either to practice C&R or to simply get back in the water to catch more.
We make ans use smaller rods for the fun of it. More excitement in the game.
You could get by with on rod in a 6 or 8 as that would handle anything. A 2 wt is a little limiting however as I said, you could do it.
I think it has come down to the right tool for the right job. And spin fishers are after the same thing.
