Because people might need it?. Unfortunately not everyone can check the game on short periods, and choosing a long task if they know they're are going to be busy all day can be more rewarding than letting your characters go idle. Everyone plays the game differently, so a wide range of choices can make people select what earns more profit for them. The more different timed jobs a character has, the better for the player to adjust the tasks to the most convenient one is.

That double amount is just because it's a joint task with Rev. Lovejoy, which can make it pain if you haven't storaged the Church as soon as you got her, so the one that appears later in the sequence is the Reverend, because you might have assigned something to him rendering the chances for this task null. That's a big dissadvantage of all joint tasks.
