Because you don't need a physical description, culture, or list of tactics if you have the WotC products that contain those things, and if you don't have those WotC products, you may sense the lack and be motivated to make a purchase. At the same time, you can ignore WotC freely (your choice) and make up your own critter. I don't agree that there's a correlation between "not having all potential background material" and "useless".
