Gnus started as a news reader and that was its primary use. The other methods were added later and thus were "secondary". Anyway, besides history, the 'primary-select-method' is arbitrary and creates problems. Today, let's say, my primary provider is GMail, so it is set as the 'primary-select-method'. Next month, it could be another, perhaps switching to ProtonMail. Setting the new provider as the 'primary-select-method' creates all sorts of problems - not to mention breaking all the org-gnus links. Also, having different 'primary-select-method'(s) at home and office, *confuses* org-mode !! The purpose of unifying the select methods, is to treat them all the same and reap the benefits. Otherwise, why change ?
