For route builder it has meaning!
Example: You have three identical shapes by section definition: 100m length, but one is simple track, one is bridge track, one is tunnel track etc.
You can use one shape definition but it adds so much work to choose proper shape template to each section you place.
Each section placed, you need to choose custom template (and using MSTS RE edit file names in .w files, WTF).
Different shape names in tsection.dat allow you to faster place proper shape template.
You are route builder, so I'm surprised that you don't see the meaning.
Suggesting that you can edit .W file instead of just selecting proper shape from list is just stupid.
With TSRE new procedural tracks selecting templates will be much easier, but still predefined shape names will be useful sometines.
