Not all windlass systems have built in relays to allow for inexpensive remote switches.

The back and forth between flybridge and bow in heavy wind / current / thunderstorm is not always pleasant. You have to be nimble and capable of moving between those two stations within ten to fifteen seconds. In situations where you might have two anchors one rope rode and one chain and one ******* who parked over your anchor is another level of complexity.
