I think that there is another valid use, right? Like this:
You can use them to group two independent clauses together; you can use them to connect sentences together to add context they are related; and with a conjunction you can group together multiple sentences that are part of a list. They can all be individual sentences, but with a comma instead of semicolon it would be a run-on if there are more than two.
