Confusion over App Store for Macs

Hey all:
When I read the agreement for the app store, it states that you are allowed to install the app on as many computers as you wish that you own or have tied to the Apple ID.

With that being said, there is Volume Purchase program to but many copies of the software. My question is that if you can load the software on as many computers that you own as you want, why would one need to sign up for VPP for Macs? Or am I misunderstanding something here? I apologize in advance for the newb question.

Personal ownership vs institutional ownership.

If I personally own 3 macbook's at home i can install that app on those machines.

If i work for a organisation that owns 25,000 machines, i can not install that app on those machines
