Simply because you (nor the previous document's author) didn't opt
to include any macros to embed "invisible" information in your file(s).
By way of example(s):

% This is the crappiest piece of hardware we've ever produced!

OR

% sdf[dsfg[psrpos]dlvsl;jtpeoirt'lesmk ;vjsdv
(same as above, but encoded in a manner that isn't explicitly obvious)

OR

\end{document}
This was prepared by MagicGloves v1.234 licensed to LKFOIUSFJHS#6%$#

OR

\newcommand{\comment}[1]{}
...
\comment{This customer paid us lots of extra money for a feature
that is already present in the standard product.  We'll make a big
deal about the feature, here, in THIS copy of the manual, to make
him think he really got his money worth!}

OR

\usepackage{comment}
...
\begin{comment}
  This feature doesn't really work as advertised; but, the bozos in
  Marketing wanted it included
\end{comment}

OR

(deliberately exploiting the comment feature)

\usepackage[final]{fixme}
\fxsetup{layout=footnote, marginclue}
...
\fxnote{We really need to redesign the front end to tamp down the
noise -- but, no time to do it in this version!}

OR

\iffalse
   Kilroy was here -- but found the place to be pathetic and left!
\fi

OR

...

Given that others can originate documents, unless you want to reverse
engineer *all* of their content, you can never be sure they (or the tool
preparing the LaTeX) haven't carefully embedded information in the document
in ways that you're not ambitious enough to uncover.  That becomes MORE of
a problem as documents are (dynamically) "synthesized" from their PDL's
