There is no reason why most people would need to do this under normal
circumstances, I agree. It is, however, possible - and there's no harm in
finding out more about how apt works. :-) I'm running testing/unstable so I
can keep up to date with sound applications without having to update
everything else all the time. It makes sense to me, it doesn't have to make
sense to anyone else because I wouldn't recommend it as a course of action.
I also find synaptic works well as a package manager in this situation.
