There are many potential features that wouldn't cause problems in isolation. Should we add all of them? Obviously not; the result would be a horribly complex language that takes too much time to learn and is impossible to maintain. So instead, we need to aggressively filter out potential added features to ensure that what they add is sufficiently important to justify later maintenance costs and the effort of learning things. The justification for this feature rests on real-world examples of bugs that have been caused by its lack.
