Like many systems and things in our bodies, many proteins work together to carry out certain functions. If one protein in a certain system or group is misfolded, it may cause a chain reaction of errors to appear in the entire system. Studying the interactions between certain proteins can help us better understand how certain interactions operate as well as think of ways to possible fix certain malfunctions. I think this sentence is trying to tell us that there is a variety of ways these complexes can come together. I don't think identical complexes work better or worse than different complexes, it just depends what the protein complex's function is overall. It's like when we look at subunits in quaternary proteins. Some subunits can be the same within the protein, while sometimes they are different.
