It's way more than just grouping. It's like directories in a filesystem: you can share them; they have access control; they let you curate your rooms into hierarchies either for your own edification or for the benefit of the wider network. Think of it more like carving Matrix into a set of USENET-style namespaces - or having a global hierarchical filesystem for realtime data.
