Minimum Members vs Required Skills

Why are the required skills for some band types more than the minimum members? As in, with certain bands they may have a minimum of 4 members, but need 5 instruments to be fully formed.
I'm a bit confused about this, is there an option for 1 person to fulfil 2 skills? Like the drummer can also be the vocalist, for example?

Initial idea was that there will be musicians with more than one skill, but there are not. At least not for now.

For rock/metal I needed five members, but I discluded the rythem guitar and it still said fully formed?! I got a rythm guitar aanyway
