Thread Size Variety

Simple question: why are there different thread sizes for same diameter screws, and why are certain material screws seen in one size more commonly than other sizes? We have 6-32, 8-32, 10-32, and 1/4-20 stainless. But in black alloys screws we find the thread size commonly in 8-24 and 10-24? And why does 1/4-28 even exist? A detailed technical explanation would be very helpful.
