spinnaker guys

probably a silly question, but......
why do people use spinnaker guys? why not just use the lazy sheet to pull the
pole back? why complicate the matter by having 2 extra lines (guys)? i would think that you could get by and just use the lazy sheet as the guy for the pole and then when you jib, use the other lazy sheet as the guy. is there something i m missing here?
thanks a bunch
