Lesser because it allows the work to be linked to work with other type of license. Here it allows it to be used as a library (.dll) in any software. If it was GPL, it could only be used within GPL software.
I know. That's why I'm asking. Dual licensing is usually GPL/commercial. Or GPL/LGPL.

LGPL/commercial still makes sense if it's about the commercial licensee making source modifications and not contributing back. But, if this is about other limitations in the LGPL, then one would be better served with another license like the MPLv2.
