HTB - why do I need queue2 in the middle ?

On the following picture

what is the purpose of the Q2 in the middle of the pic, why not connect q3,4,5 directly under q1, doing away with q2 ?

what is the diff ? with q2 and w/o q2 ?

In this case I think you’re right. But from the explaining/example point of view, it just shows the possibilities. Under queue2, multiple new queues could reside.
