There's no right answer.
The Tumbleweed users are likely doing this separation just to use different partition formats for /home and /. It's one of the reasons why you'd want a separated /home; the others being already mentioned by other users (easier distro-hopping, easy backups), as well as the con (sometimes you'll have free space, but not in the partition where you need it).
