Why are goals only allowed one assigned entity?

We are new to SPM/SPW and I'm struggling to understand Goal Framework for SPM and how it works.  I've found some good posts and videos that help, but I don't understand why Goals can only be associated with one assigned entity - which appears to be the same thing as a lens.

 

For example, let's say I have this goal hierarchy:

Strategic Priority = Increase Innovation

Goal = Automate tracking of inmates

Target = Reduce manual tracking by 30%

Initiative = Innovative Service Delivery

 

I have multiple demand/projects that will have the above values.

The program owner may only want to see the demand/projects using the Project Program lens and the CIO might want to use Strategic Investments and/or Organization.

 

If I can only select one assigned entity for the goal, can I still see the goal and track it in all three of the example lens scenarios?

 

What I don't understand is how can I use the goal in all of the lenses if I can only select one assigned entity?

 

TIA!
