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.
