I think it's a way to explain a different kind of love. Generally, you love your family because you have grown up doing so. You also love your friends. A girlfriend/boyfriend you "fall" in love with. You share something more than just blood and more than just friendship.
That's a pretty shitty explanation, but I don't really know how to explain it better than that. For me, there is a difference.
As an aside, I think the word love gets tossed around too often in the english language ("I love french fries," "I love that movie," "I love boobies," etc). Perhaps people make the distinction because the word "love" is used to describe something which is just a like.
