Why do I need two security keys?

I was thinking of using security keys but I can't figure out why I need two keys? I'm new to security keys so maybe I'm not understanding. On the "About Security Keys for Apple ID" it states "You must add and maintain two security keys." Can I not just use one for my macbook and iphone?

Same reason you lock your car door or house door and then enable the alarm.
