Because those are alternative ways to get to accounting data. I think if somebody knows the traditional interface like wait3(2) and time(1) she might want to know about the other posix possibilities to get to that data (not after the fact). At least I had this situation that I was looking up time and its background and did not get a pointer to the clock_ familiy.
