I'm curious too. I don't say it couldn't be useful,
but I wonder what the aim is.

BTW, note that the default value (or even any of a
list of default values) provided need not be among
the candidates for completion, if completion is lax

(completing-read "q: " '("a" "b" "c" "d")
nil nil nil nil "e")
