Why Did NIST Pick Dilithium and FALCON?
When both of them are lattice-based methods and Dilithium is so much faster

And, so, NIST selected Dilithium for quantum robust digital signatures. But, they are also taking forward FALCON and SPHINCS+. While SPHINCS+ is a hash-based signature method, FALCON is a lattice method such as Dilithium. Why did NIST pick two lattice methods?
