Hey!
Why do we need npm and bower in the same project, because they duplicate each other in terms of functionality?

The general answer is not needed, however there may be packages that are published to npm and not published to bower. And vice versa.

Bower has a slightly different dependency resolution mechanism . Before the ubiquity of webpack with its aliases, trea shaking and dead code elimination and code splitting could be critical. Now - no need, and bower is officially dead.
It could have remained in legacy projects. If the team does not have QA and / or autotests, then you should be careful about getting rid of bower :)
