If you have multiple smaller lights, it's quicker to turn them all on at the door than to do a lap around the room.

Of course this is an after-the-fact rationalization; in reality, it's probably just easier to install one set of switches than several.

Again, why one switch one light? In my lounge, the 1 lightswitch turns on 4 lights, and in my hallway, there is 2 lightswitches for 1 light.

Well, you do that if you ever want the ability to turn on just one of them. If you don't then your setup is fine.
