Hi Don,
The use case/impetus to create the Combined Text fields was a combo of ease and performance. Having to set up reverse relationships between tables was both really confusing for new builders who needed these types of info for reporting and also in a complex app having a bunch of extraneous relationship could overtime contribute to unneeded complexity and extra processing time for extra relationships. The hope was that it would be much easier and neater for a lot of people to be able to use our existing summary field functionality instead to pull data up and then if needed use formulas and filters to help parse out what they were looking for.
