What is the point of adding other public tracker? Is it to cross seed? Or just higher probability to connect to a peer?

I add a bunch I copypasted from a list somewhere
I don't have direct answer to the question, but I generally don't add public trackers to my (public) torrents. DHT/PEX usually works fine for me for finding seeds on the occasion that I do need something from public torrent sites.
I wonder whether adding additional trackers only increases the speed in which peers are found or whether it also substantially increases the likelihood of finding peers.

One begets the other, although your mileage may vary
