But both would have the same E-Mail address, with two accounts I can
have different E-Mail addresses for business and personal mail.
Also I already have twenty or so folders on my 'personal' mail IMAP
account and maybe ten or more on the business account. If I put all these
folders on the same account I'd start running into name clashes and such
(e.g. I have an 'Action' folder in both). I know I could use the folder
hierarchy to separate them but the Web interface doesn't know about
folder hierarchy (even though the underlying IMAP server does). There
is also a 10Mb storage limit per account but no limit on the number of
accounts I can set up.
So, it makes much more sense for me to have more than one IMAP
account.

That's fine if you only look at your mail from one location, as I said
the whole point of IMAP for me is its visibility from work, home and
anywhere else.
