A third person narrator can "see" more of the story than a first person narrator. They can show the reader things that the main character may not know, for example, or show the thoughts and feelings of other characters in addition to the main one.
An author may choose first person for intimate storytelling, allowing readers to connect deeply with the protagonist's thoughts and feelings. Third person limited offers a broader view than first person while maintaining focus on one character's perspective. Third person omniscient allows for a wider exploration of characters and events, providing insight into multiple characters' experiences and motivations. Ultimately, the chosen point of view should align with the narrative's goals and the desired level of character insight.
Omniscient narrators see everything that's going on, and can see into the thoughts and emotions of many characters.
Authors choose whichever point of view best tells their story - that's all there is to it.

A limited narrator enters the thoughts of one main character only.
No, third person limited and limited omniscient are not the same point of view. Third person limited point of view focuses on the thoughts and feelings of one character, while limited omniscient allows access to the thoughts and feelings of multiple characters, but still with limitations compared to omniscient point of view.
