How do redundant classes and interfaces improve maintainability over time?

Because they improve maintainability, they are not redundant.

I asked how redundant classes and interfaces improve maintainability over time.

I'll narrow down my question some more:

How does duplicated code improve maintainability over time?

Author stated that classes and interfaces seem redundant, not actually redundant. Repeated code could improve maintainability because it may actually have different reasons to change, and only look similar on the surface. I've seen this often missed by inexperienced devs who get overzealous trying to DRY up everything.
