Default Partitives and Quantifiers - What is the difference?

Hey guys,
I was wondering why the partitives and quantifiers have to be different grammar points? What is the difference? I know that partitives are words like " a bottle of" " a cup of " " a piece of " , and quantifiers are words like " a bit of" "some", "any". But why can't we just call partitives quantifiers?
