Well, think about it - if you're building a bot that needs to interact with different channels in a specific category, you'll need to be able to access that category first. It's like trying to send a message to a friend - you need to know their address, or in this case, the category's ID. And once you have that, you can do all sorts of cool things, like creating new channels or moving existing ones around.
