I guess a some people use monitors with laptops as a dock. Nowadays with a single usb c to the monitor can charge the device and recieve video signals. For them the monitor is still usable as something, even if the laptop is not there.

So I see some people might benefit from this, but it doesn't seem like a very useful feature for the masses. Other manufacturers' also had similar monitors, fortunately it's not very common, I remember LG had one last year:
