Default Enkei NT03+M using 2 valve stems per wheel? Why?

I've been looking at this wheel for a while. My friend is interested in putting it on his s2k. One thing that stands out about this wheel is the fact that it has two valvestems. Is there an advantage or anything useful or functional about having 2 valvestems? There's a link below to show what I'm talking about, thanks.

Dedicated racing wheels have two valve stems so that inflating/deflating can be accomplished while simultaneously monitoring the pressure with a gauge without stopping.

The other thought I had is you could also purge regular air with nitrogen and monitor nitrogen concentration with two valve stems that you could not do with only one.

But figured it had to do with race applications not user friendly nitrogen transitions.
