Why do we need non-anchor peers for same organization in Hyperledger Fabric

I was trying to understand role of Anchor Peers in Hyperledger fabric. I have understood that we can have multiple anchor peers in same Organization to prevent single point of failure.

https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.1/glossary.html#anchor-peer

If that is the case, then why do we even need non-anchor peers in same organization? Is there any significance of having non-anchor peers in same organization?

You can certainly have all your peers that participate in a channel to be anchor peers.

However keep in mind that you might not want all your peers to be exposed to the other organizations from all kinds of reasons. Such peers shouldn't be anchor peers and shouldn't have external endpoints.
