The large forge is more of a tribe thing, allowing for newer players to make their own tools in a large tribe. The anvils, being made of stainless steel, are much easier to make weaponry and tools on. This means that when the blacksmith leaves, it doesn't leave almost all the tribe without any defence or tools, because they made their own tools instead of needing a blacksmith.

It also contains more space inside, and has a larger fire, which are just small convenience boosts. And for the point about "it's the only forge", it needs a smithing level to make, and is called the large forge. It's like saying we need to remove all the houses except the hut because people could think they are the only buildings.
