Why are there two fans on the hot end?

There are two fand on the Bambu X1C hot end, one that hangs on front with magnets and another on the right side blowing cold air on the unheated filament. Why not have one fan with a second vent to cool the filament?

I had plastic goop up around the print head, destroying the silicone jacket and getting into that little fan…

Not fun but fixable.

Because part cooling and hot end cooling need to have separate control.
