Both RGB Leds and Rotary encoders have two things in common:

They are cheap and very useful to get easy to use User I/O for microcontroller projects.
But they are both a hassle to use if you only have one microcontroller and lots of LEDs.

For the LEDs ppl will use Neopixels / WS2812B, etc... But for the Encoder there does not exist a convenient solution. The desire to have this convenient for input as well as output is how this projects was conceived.
