Since this is a (good) RPG, you got a lot of itens as you level up. And as all RPGs games that have companions/followers I like to, individually, make their builds, change/upgrade their equipment, even if I won't use them in real combat.
My vaults are frequently full of new (and better) equipments that suit my followers, and in order to change their equipment set, I have to go to a Home, dismiss my current follower, recruit another, access the vaults, change equipment, view skills, dismiss current follower, repeat... (sleep if necessary for them respawn at home).
As a good example, any Dragon Age game: when you go to your camp (or wherever companions stay) you can view and change all companion's inventories and skills sets.
