Before posting this question I went through a lot of Q&As on this list.

https://chess.stackexchange.com/search?q=style

But I still have this question without solid answers.

Question: I know what a chess style is, and that different players can have their own styles. My question is on the "why" factor. Why do we have such styles defined? Are they defined just for the sake of analysis, or are they used for something? Are they useful for players? If yes how?

How does knowing your style or others' styles can be important/useful to you? Can we use that to improve ourselves?

This is not a direct question. I just need some answers as per your opinion. Appreciate your ideas.
