Private Equity Fund Structure

Heyo, dumb monkey here with a dumb question.

I was wondering why private equity funds have multiple vehicles/side pockets. For example, why would a PE firm have a Fund I-A and Fund I-B? Wouldn’t it make it much easier for everyone involved to just have a consolidated fund?
