What is the reason for declaring noncreatable coclasses like the following in IDL?

[
    uuid(uuidhere),
    noncreatable
]
coclass CoClass {
    [default] interface ICoClass;
};

I mean such class will not be registered to COM anyway. What's the reason to mention it in the IDL file and in the type library produced by compiling that IDL file?
