Ok, that's a different circumstance than the Soviets or even the Wehrmacht.
Straight answer. Someone to blame when things go wrong. The Group Commander should have been in charge but wasn't. A pretty good scape goat if you ask me.
However, it certainly did not start out that way. The Group Commanders had a hell of alot to do in the beginning, especially during the Normandy Invasions. It was only when things got worked out and communications increased that their roles started to be reduced.
