Well, its there for a reason. :-)

MSI keeps a database of installed programs (well, those programs that
were installed with an MSI package). When you manually remove an entry
from the database, the program is not uninstalled, but the status of its
installation is unknown to the system afterwards, ie. the entry from the
control panel / add or remove programs will be gone.

One possible usage of the utility is to remove an entry from the
database that makes an update installation (or whatever) hang otherwise
and then re-install the program over the still existing on-disk
installation so that you end up with an updated installation and a clean
MSI configuration database.
