Why do some televised speeches and broadcasts have sign language translators when we have closed captions?

I’m sure we’ve all seen many public press conferences which also show a picture-in-picture of someone doing a signing translation. What is the point of that in those cases when we have closed captions?

People in the audience might be deaf or hard of hearing.

Also, closed captioning isn’t always available as it is done by whoever is broadcasting the content.
