Sometimes section names are more informative than node names.
For example, open the Emacs manual and compare node vs section names:

node names    vs    section names

Basic::             Basic Editing Commands

Display::           Controlling the Display

International::     International Character Set Support

Maintaining::       Maintaining Large Programs

Dired::             Dired, the Directory Editor

etc.

Most of the time short node names are unintelligible
without explanation provided by section names.

Also section names provide additional help in logical division
of the manual, e.g.

  Important Text-Changing Commands

  Major Structures of Emacs

  etc.
