So that way all routers in the area know to neither accept, nor generate External (Type 5) LSA's.
Additionally, one of the rules of an OSPF area is that all routers in that area must have an identical topology database. If one router is not configured as stub and accepts, or generates an External LSA, then that rule is broken, as the non-stub router will have the external LSA, and the other's will not.
