My guess would be maintainability.
Having some way of sharing parts of different symbols with each other
makes it way easier to manage large libs. (Nobody would be forced to use
these features but they can make live easier for library maintainers. We
could then for example provide a single nmos graphic that is then used
in all nmos symbols of the official lib. Reducing the work for both
contributors and maintainers.)

Thinking more about it, we could probably auto-convert existing aliases to
inheritance when we read them in.
Why do we need any inheritance at all? My only guess is to make Kicad
even more hackerish and difficult to understand.
