But doesn't my combo square do the same thing?

Pretty much, but not nearly as handy or as quick, IME.

The width of the blade makes it easier to quickly/squarely align parts a
certain distance from an edge in one motion than with a combo square, a
frequent task in cabinet making ... like quickly squaring up Euro hinges
in a 35mm hole when installing cabinet doors.

It also fits in an apron pocket, where I can jealously guard it onsite.
