Because I believe algorithm A is superior, you believe algorithm B is superior, but neither of us thinks the other algorithm is so bad that we might as well use cleartext. So both of our implementations (or configurations) support both algorithms, but whichever one gets to choose chooses according to our preference. AES-GCM vs ChaCha20/Poly1305. Which is superior?
