DHCP: Splitting 10.10.120.0/23 between 2 servers, why exclude?

I understand that best practice is to split a scope between 2 dhcp servers on the same subnet.  We have a rather larger subnet 10.10.120.0/23

Server1 with pool 10.10.120.50-10.10.120.230
Server2 with pool 10.10.121.50-10.10.121.230

What's the purpose of expanding the scope in each server and configuring exclusions?  If each server have technically a different subnet, there will never be a conflict.  I would like to know if there's any benefit to expand the range and add exclusions.

Server1 with pool 10.10.120.50-10.10.121.230 exclude 10.10.120.231-10.10.121.230
Server2 with pool 10.10.120.50-10.10.121.230 exclude 10.10.120.50-10.10.121.49
