Because otherwise, most non-GNU make's will actually attempt to make
stuff. The -v enables distributed building with some implementations of
make, for example. Unlike -v, the -f option is fairly standard and
supplying it without a filename is a fairly good way to ensure that any
make will print an error and exit.
