Because to remain in conduction it requires a supply of emitter current. Without a minimum value of emitter current it can't stay in the on position. Most thyristors do not require gate current after they are turned on to remain in conduction

Is a UJT a voltage controlled or current controlled device?

voltageCurrent between the two bases of the UJT sets up a voltage gradient in the semiconductor. When the voltage on the emitter of the UJT rises high enough to forward bias the emitter-base junction at the voltage of the interbase gradient where the emitter is located, the UJT "turns on".
