What else would it be?  I think one of the reasons for it was precisely to 
provide something for Maxima's `infinity` to become in Sage.

Though note

sage: Infinity
+Infinity

which is annoying.

But we already have

sage: -oo == unsigned_infinity
True

so as long as one is willing to live with 

sage: -oo < 0
True
sage: 0 < unsigned_infinity
True
sage: -oo < unsigned_infinity
False

as documented, it should be okay.  I mean, what does comparison even MEAN 
with complex infinity in the mix?  I suppose you could make it incomparable 
to anything but itself.  Really I think it's just there as a way to handle 
certain results that come out, and then we added various methods so it fit 
in the algebraic framework - for better or worse.
