I'm not a pilot, but my understanding is that type certifications are held to ATP standards. Is there some reason why a pilot would need both outside of being a commercial pilot who might encounter other types in his or her career?

I have no idea about the standard, but I don't think you'll need 1500 hours that's required for ATP.

No reason. Just very few PPLs would have access to a B747.
