Subject: What is the purpose of restructuring meat?

Though by definition,restructured meat products refer to any product in 
which the primary structure of the muscle is altered by processes like 
slicing,flaking and grinding and structured thereafter,sausages are 
generally not considered as restructured meat products because of their 
feel as finely ground products.Hence does restructured products 
necessarily mean to have a mouthfeel similar to intact meat cuts?
