I think it's a little more than personal preference. Adding attributes piecemeal to library symbols is quick and easy for small projects, but scales poorly to related collections of big projects. It's like software: a very simple C program is sensibly a single file, but bigger codes benefit from being split into reusable modules and header files. The analogy *.c -> *.sch and *.h -> *.sym is a way to understand this.
