IEBGENER will create a real dataset with an end of file that can be successfully opened and read. IEFBR14 creates only a 'null' file. Most programs trying to open and read a 'null' file will fail.
I can think of several scenarios where an empty, readable file is needed.
I can think of scenarios where such files could be - at minimum - moved
from tape (even virtual one) to disk. Not to say about programs which
doesn't fail on empty dataset or even not requiring the existence of
empty files.
Of course this is developers issue not exploitation one.
