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".
