Texture Channel Separation Rendering based on real data inevitably involves the use of a large number of textures, leading to constraints on both graphics memory and performance. For example, common PBR textures utilize the RGB channels to represent Ambient Occlusion, Roughness, and Metallic properties respectively.

This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Light is precomputed offline and rendered to a texture, which is then used by the geometry.
