The filament properties belongs somehow tied to the extruder instead of the process.
If you load a duel extruder profile you can't set different filament properties (mainly diameter although cost is a nice to have too) for the different filaments. So basically you have to change the multiplier for the extruder beyond what you'd normally have to if one of your filament has a different diameter. Sort of annoying if you have multiple processes that use different filament diameters for different filaments but then you want to make a process that uses both extruders... now you have to recalibrate instead of just copying the numbers.

Filament diameter is saved in the other tab. You can change it in each process, if you are printing with two extruders, you just need two processes.

I don't want two processes because I'm using a duel extruder setup to print supports with one filament and the object with the other. This works great and you don't do this with two processes like you might if you were printing two different objects with the different extruders.

BTW having two processes for different objects doesn't work that great anyway. Consider which process is in charge of the start g-code?
