If they were so "extremely important" then they would not be optional,
and hence not even be USE flags at all, no? Or am I missing something?
Yes. Some flags are extremely important to certain users (read: profiles) but
not to others. In some cases the USE flag are so extremely important because
they are more or less what makes the whole profile. Think of 'selinux' or
'multilib'.
