The 2 free throws for the 2nd foul would have players lined up, otherwise what would be the status of the ball after the 2nd set of free throws?

I don't really understand why we clear the lane for the first shot. What's different about this than shooting free throws after a foul against a three point shooter who missed the shot? Seems silly to clear the lane for the first shot and then bring everyone back for the second and third. Why do we bother having players lined up for first of 2 free throws then?
