The main goal of OBD-2 was to have "error proofing" of the primary sensors to ensure they function correctly. Much of the double-checking responsibility falls to the O2 sensors, especially the one after the catalyst.

The catalyst is effective on all three only in a narrow window...get just a little outside the "sweet spot" and the efficiency on 1 or more pollutants falls off the table.
