I could be wrong, but I always thought this was way to de-clutter the interface.
You would have all the pertinent information about your adventure in the story almanac and the wider/more general information about your campaign world in the world almanac. If my party is adventuring in New York, I don't really need all the information for LA at my fingertips (necessarily) but it is still there in the world almanac if required.
Another cool thing is that if the PCs clear portions of your adventure, you can transfer the cleared content to the world almanac as a de-facto way of managing where you are up to in the adventure/campaign.
