But it has everything to do with inventorying the parts in a set, which is
another plus of the LDraw file, and one of the values of creating the official
set repository. Obviously, not everyone who submits a model will be able to
list extra parts. Even if they have the actual set, but bought it at auction,
they wouldn't necessarily have the extras. But for those who do have such
knowledge, it would be simple enough to include it.
