Why not? If you want to have a second root user without password, homedirectory and login shell you need it. And I mean technically there is no problem with that. In some cases you can't use root for a specific task and you don't want to use suid 0 binaries cause they might be exploited by other users. And I mean useradd enables this, why not then?
