The second way is a lot faster than the first one, but that's not really relevant to why CallLocalFunction and CallRemoteFunction exists.
If you don't know the name of the function to execute (that being not directly inputting the name of the function during compile-time), then there's no way you're going to manage to call the function using the second way. That's where CallLocalFunction and CallRemoteFunction comes in, they can execute functions even during run-time. Not to mention that you won't be able to call a function inside a filterscript (for example) by using the second way. That's where CallRemoteFunction comes in.
