| I guess it's a flight safety matter, rather like dual inspection of flying controls. The person who did the work might genuinely believe he did a good job. But an inspector unconnected with the aircraft or mechanics can find faults that the others missed.
Certainly my experience is that an aircraft fresh out from servicing is highly likely to have some technical requirement missed.
Having someone dedicated to manage ADs, maintenance programme updates, time limited items, service bulletins, mods, next required servicing, recording of data, archives, etc, makes sense. The mechanics/engineers can then get on with the technical stuff which they do best.
