Not exclusively, perhaps. It could also be used by those who sort. I 
could be mis-reading the data or looking at inappropriate data but 
consider the likes of "Book of the Week" or "Book at Bedtime". The 
<Title> might be "Book of the Week: Permanent Present Tense: Episode 5" 
but each sub-set of episodes for one book is now in (default) 
<seriesnum> of 1.

One could output a set of episodes into a directory named "Permanent 
Present Tense" or else sort output files into a <nameshort> directory of 
"Book of the Week" and have them sorted by name such as "Permanent 
Present Tense-s01e05".

That fits better with my preferences for more typical 
programme/series/episode downloads and I'm assuming that over-riding 
default output spec isn't attempted for these programmes or any other 
identified exceptions to one's preferred conventions.
