Think about tethering a zeppelin with a curved body shape, where you need to attach in multiple places. Combine that with needing to tether at different elevations and it will get out of hand pretty quick.

And/or heavy lines for safety, many light lines for stability? I suppose that makes sense, though it still seems weird that they needed that many types.
