More flexibility, I think. The idea is you can test whether an application still runs with new versions of libraries just by using LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the new ones, or you can move your libraries around and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the new location (I think there are restrictions as to what patching you can do of RPATH/RUNPATH - you don't seem to be able to make the path longer). I'm not sure how much things like this are actually used in practice, though.
