Why not just to the one where the branch circuits all
connect (if different from where the meter is)?


At the risk of stating the obvious, because that's code.
Despite what everyone else states.

It's there for protection to make sure the line voltages
are referenced to ground.

Simply put, one and only one ground, and it's at the
service entrance.

If you insist on putting in a second ground, such as at
a well/pump house, or an amateur radio station, the
grounds must remain separate.
