Why would client request DHCP option 60 - vendor-class-identifier ?

[Bob Harold]

Some DHCP clients send option 60 - vendor-class-identifier - to let the
DHCP server know what type of device (or operating system) it is, so the
server can send back the proper values for some options, both vendor
options and standard options.
I am seeing some clients include option 60 in the request list - the list
of  options that the client is asking the DHCP server to send back to the
client.  Why would a client want option 60 sent back from the server?
