Now back to "why no epic single rail?" ....simple, it's expensive to manufacture a single strong rail, strong rails are unstable at times. But companies like Seasonic and TOPower have perfected the art, Seasonic makes a 40A rail circuitry that's used in the Corsair HX1000W (two 40A rails). So it makes sense with these 20A rails. Those rails with zero load turn off (unverified). Also it becomes easy to distribute power with these multiple rails, imagine four PCI-E connectors sharing a 40A rail.
