They can't do all ILL because the system isn't flexible.Why not? (Serious question)
If the coaster can take 2000 pph, and runs for a 12 hour day they would love to sell 24,000 ILL.
However all those ILL have windows... what if no one shows up for the first 30 minutes. Now the ride sits empty for 30 minutes and the ILL line is backed up the whole day.
Or what if people no show for their ILL appointment? Now they will send the coaster out with empty seats (not a good PR look)
Finally what is there is a 2 hour break down? They have people that paid to ride the ride, but now 4,000 people that can't ride the ride.
Having an additional standby or Virtual boarding groups allows this to be flexible based on ride performance and ILL actions.
If they have empty seats, call more BGs or let more standby ride
If they have a breakdown, call less BGs or let less standby ride
