Let yourself think from the perspective of a hacker...
You won't be happy or content with infecting just a machine of the targeted network. Will you? Of course not. Once you have gained an initial foothold, then you would want to pivot, infect and control other machines of the network too. This is when you would need a robust C&C communication with all those infected machines (called Zombies or bots). Your C&C would help you to maintain a persistent presence and to exfiltrate some valuable data later. You can control all zombie-machines via remote C&C.
