Why do LPs allocate to crossover funds instead of Hedge Funds and Growth shops separately?

Title-- Interested in why this is the case. Don't Growth shops have superior experience/skillset in evaluating private growing companies and providing operational/strategic advice to continue growth? Curious as to why the crossover fund fits into an LP's allocation portfolio
