For a liberal/libertarian, personal freedom is the most important value. The threats to freedoms are not only government power, but also societal and market pressures. Therefore, there may be some level of redistribution and some restrictions of societal and market pressures that generally increase personal freedom. As such interventions have diminishing returns, they should be limited to low-hanging fruits. Alternatively, one can see it as a way to distribute power to independent power structures (government, society, markets, ...) to prevent one structure dominating others. Each such structure is a threat to personal freedom, but with different manifestations and effects. And it is more manageable to have more smaller threats than less bigger ones.
