But why is it allowed in the first place?

Because it's an expression, and you're allowed to execute expressions.

To put it a bit more clearly, you're allowed to evaluate
an expression and ignore the result.

But if it's an expression where it's expecting a statement and it's not 
a call, then it's probably a bug.
