I think it's there mainly for more control. For example, I made an
animation of a skull with glowing eyes just because it looked cool. I
used anamorphic streaks for the blue glow that streaks across the scream,
and normal random streaks to add to the effect. I aslo believe that when
you turn on Anamorphic Squeeze, everything gets squashed to 1/2 the
height, as if shot by an anamorphic lens. Thus, normal streaks would also
compress.
I personally don't mind the extra button -- it gives me more control over
the scene. As far as I'm concerned, the more control, the better.
