Well, maybe. But remember that some symbols with net= attributes *do* have footprints. Should the lack of a footprint be taken as evidence that there is none, or that there's a mistake? I suspect silently ignoring symbols without footprints would be more confusing. graphical=1 affirms that the lack of a footprint is intentional.
