I think it would be to tell the motor when to stop unwinding. if it didn't have it, it would just keep unwinding until it went all the way around.
Another reason is to stop the motor if the lift gets stuck. Were a lot of slack allowed to accumulate, and the lift become unstuck, it could then fall some distance, which would be most uncomfortable for any passengers. And it would do the ropes no good either!

How many feet of pipe are allowed between pull boxes?
There is no limit in the NEC. This distance is limited by your ability to pull wire the distance needed. If you install 100 feet of pipe, you will need a way to pull wire that distance. If you install 300 feet of pipe, same thing. Fish tapes come in various lengths but can be pricey and rarely used if you buy a long one. There are ways to use a shop vac to suck or blow string in the conduit and for the most part length doesn't matter using this method. If the conduit is large enough and/or the wire big enough you can use this string to pull in a rope with the strength you need.
Is it easier to tight-rope walk or slack-rope walk?
Slack-rope walk. A rope will be under tension and tight if the two ends are elevated so there is no slack, hence a tight-rope. However, leaving the rope unsuspended will result in a slack rope which will not move under foot and can be walked on easily, as the rope is supported by the ground that also offers support to the feet.
