Extra Character slot: More people would be willing to pay for that 2nd character if they can do it for a reduced cost over buying another game account and you would be able to do it through 1 account instead of having multiple accounts.
Also, you say it's easy to just buy another account and pay for the 2nd sub as being easy - a lot less people will do this than if they could just pay for 1 extra character and keep 1 sub on 1 account.
All of these "cash shop items" is meant to get money from the f2p crowed that wouldn't spend money on a sub, giving the dev team more way's to monetize income for game development.
