Just because you can't think of a reason doesn't mean it's "stupid". TUs and developers may drop packages from the repos to AUR and then orphan them for someone to adopt. Someone may upload a package as a dependency of another package they maintain, which they're not interested in maintaining. Just to name a few possible reasons. --
