John touched on a big key that I totally missed. Most rescues are solo or 2-person assisted rescues. "All-in" implies a group rescue, where both the need and opportunity for leadership arises.

In any assisted rescue one of those involved (typically the rescuer) would "take charge" so someone that would be leading group trip might benefit from the experience of taking charge of a rescue involving more than one person in the water, especially if that person is one of those that capsize.
