In many languages with alphabetic writing systems, and also in certain technical writing, there is more than one diacritic. I have occasionally seen as many as three on a glyph. And the glyphs may be more than just the vowels; sometimes consonants take diacritics as well. Considering all the possible glyphs and the possible diacritics, the number of glyph+diacritic(s) combinations you might need could be massive, at least far more than the font designer included in the font. Using combining diacritics expands the possibilities.
