It wasn't just reporting the final results. They were keeping tabs on both the first and second realignments, plus delegate counts. Essentially three sets of numbers. The reason behind this is so they could report total turnout numbers, something which was not previously reported.

No, the reason is because multiple campaigns (who tend to have precinct captains report the first and second alignment numbers and track how they are doing internally) complained about apparent inconsistencies in the final results in 2016, so the DNC required the additional figures to be tracked and reported officially with paper trails to provide transparency and confidence in the integrity of the results.
