I can think of a couple of reasons offhand.  An application might have
constraints on how it uses the available display area.  Alternatively,
an application that provides a relay might find this to be relevant.
(In combination with bandwidth constraints, of course).

That's why this actually becomes more important.  It's an escape valve
for applications who can't deal with that complexity when they find
that the UA can't either.
