Yes indeed, that's the main reason.

If you have two different receiver crystal channels you have twice the chance of there being a channel free for you to use on a busy day. The Hitec transmitter battery compartment has little slots to store spare receiver crystals, so, when I turn up at the flying field, the first thing I do is to see which channels are being used, and pick a crystal that is free. I almost never have to wait, even on our flying field which is very crowded occasionally.
