What are the incentive of some std::ranges::XXX_n?

Looking through the algorithm library, there are a few std::ranges::XXX_n function have basically the same definition as their std::XXX_n counterparts, namely copy_n, fill_n, and generate_n.

The only difference between them are the ranges version often applied more concept and requires to the parameters, which probably should be added to the non-range version anyways(I mean it doesn't make sense to call a generator that is not invokable, or copy something that is not copyable); Plus you can't apply execution policy on them because they meant to be ranges.

So my guess is just to have a unifying way of calling things, or am I totally missing something?
