there are a few usecases where pi users wish to install the armhf variants in addition to the arm64 variants:

1. use armhf only binary software with hardware accelerated gles (and other gpu libraries). The arm64 libraries do not help in this case.

2. for x86 (32bit) to armhf emulation of linux applications/binaries, the armhf libraspberrypi0 package is also necessary for hardware accelerated gpu (as with 1.)

3. software such as chromium only has widevine support on armhf (and x86_64 and x86), not arm64, so the armhf version of chromium needs to be installs, requiring the armhf gpu libraries to be installed for hardware accelerated web compositing.
