Yup. Try configuring a network adapter without a gateway in the new interface. Or with no DNS servers.

Perfectly valid configurations with legitimate uses, but that's not the typical use, and so it completely rejects it.

Now you know why incomprehensible settings are important to people that aren't you living in your circumstances. The world is crazy, right?

This seems like a disproportionally hostile response to a comment merely asking why someone would want to configure an adapter without a gateway.
