It's entirely up to you how you use it, as only you can see it.
Think of it as like your bookmarks in your browser-you organise and label those however you like, putting them in folders if that makes the structure easier for you to use, or perhaps not bothering with folders at all, it's entirely your decision. Same with the Source Box.
Also it's not really about profiles, it's about easy access to records you might like to attach (or re-attach) as sources later-one of its most frequent uses for me is moving or duplicating a marriage source from a profile to the relevant couple relationship (where it should be, because that's where you can tag it).
