Why are there two rotation controls in Lightroom, and how are they used?

Lightroom has very similar controls for rotation in two different sections. First, in the Crop & Straighten tool:

Crop & Straighten: Angle

Second, in the manual section of the Lens Corrections control:

The Crop & Straighten Angle tool has an adjustment range of ±45°, while the Lens Corrections Rotate tool only has a range of ±10°.

What is the difference between these controls, and when should one be used instead of the other?
