Spoiler:

It's obvious that no one else can see the monsters except Mai, and by tying Mai to Makoto's mircale (Mai being the one to tell Yuuichi to stay with Makoto, where to find Makoto etc), it makes Yuuichi's strong faith in Mai's words of the existance of monsters and his desire to get to the bottom of the problem a lot more believable and less contrived, and not the cliche harem lead just being a goodie goodie to any girls he sees and believing them based on "gut feeling".

Anyone here still like to question that as mere throw in fanservice, and the reason for the interweaving approach?

This is the kind of interweaving which the experienced Kanon fans are talking about, this kind of attention to small details in storytelling is why we sing the praise for Kyoani, and this is what makes Kyoani's handling of Kanon so wonderful and leaps and bounds beyond the Toei version.

Eh heh heh heh. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that soon, DanielSong39 (whom I shall refer to from here on as "He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named", or "You-Know-Who", or simply "HIM") will come up with more of his meaningless drivel. It's an undeniable fact of life. Oh well.
