Tandem Compressors

Any help out there on why manufacturers (trane,york,etc.) insist on the use of two compressors(tandem hermetics) with several inter connecting lines.This application makes no sense because if you have a problem with one compressor you have an issue with both of them due to access!!! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
