It wasn't an attack on you, or anyone. It was a serious question. I always thought 4 and 6 foot ladders were standard equipment of all CI's. Everyone here always talks about safety and the proper way to do stuff (rightfully so), so I assumed, incorrectly I guess, that everyone already had 4 footers. I guess that's not the case.
I can't think of anything a 4' ladder can do that a 6' can't, other than fit in a shorter space. If I needed to punch down in large structured wiring panels, I would have one- it's a good height for me to sit on the top while I do that. I really can't see a reason for a 2' ladder (other than using it as a stool)- I prefer to be able to lean into it, especially if I need to drill into concrete. Also, driving an Astro doesn't leave much space for other things if I have three ladders and I don't usually do much that's higher than my folding extension ladder won't reach. I took the ladder rack off when I got it and I don't want to keep ladders on top, especially during a Wisconsin Winter.
