That's a pretty important and useful reason. But other reasons you might do it are so you can:
- apply the same styling (eg. fill="blue") to a set of elements,
- reference to the group of objects from a
use
.
Not to mention the simple organisational reasons.

http://tutorials.jenkov.com/svg/g-element.html says:
The
<g>
element is used to group SVG shapes together. Once grouped you can transform the whole group of shapes as if it was a single shape. This is an advantage compared to a nested<svg>
element which cannot be the target of transformation by itself.
