Multilibs initially have been invented for embedded targets and have a long history there, predating using them on "non-embedded" OSes. The rationale is quite simple: On embedded targets "squeezing the max" is much more of importance than on "non-embedded OSes", because embedded systems often are based on low-end CPUs with very limited resources.
