This is a basic question, but the answer will help me with a lot of other things im curious about.
Why do you assign a data type to a page? What does that accomplish? When is it required? Is it ever not needed?
Thanks!
It will allow you to use the slug feature for a human readable and shareable URL.
It will make life easier for referencing the datasource as the current pages thing.
Makes it a bit easier to navigate to the page and send data with it, so from a search result to a listing page

Great for slugs. Or pages you might what to reference externally.
It used to be good for Listing Page > send thing > Detail page … but now I would not do that as it is fairly slow. I would have a group on a page.
The key takeaway … you don’t need one on every page. So don’t set one unless you have to.
Example … User Profile page. Don’t think “Oh I better add the user as a page type”. Use them where you NEED them.
