I would have thought that the vast majority of people who download ROMs download them individually based off of their preference, not downloading the entirety of the PS1 or PS2 library.
To answer your question, it doesn't matter other than compression. Backups are backups.
Some older consoles have very negligible size libraries in modern day terms, and who knows what sources of ROMs will be taken down by lawsuits in the next few decades. I feel like there is some sense in making a complete archive of a systems game library, but for my personal use I usually just download / dump / rip what I need specifically.
