Because they're attached to a particular release of the project. It's a long story but it’s just how we work.
We work off trunk and add scripts into a directory that relates to the next release version - 4.9. As we get ready to release this, we branch off. People continue to work on trunk and will add scripts in as necessary to the next release version - 4.10. Scripts may also go into the branch at the same time. If we have some devs working on trunk they'll update their database to 4.10 and when 4.9 is re-integrated they won't be able to run the scripts that were added in the branch because the database has moved onto 4.10. In this case you kind of need a "I know what I'm doing checkbox" to allow the devs to force run any new scripts from the 4.9 branch.
Does that make any sense?

Can you explain the scenario a bit more. I'm just wondering why you wouldn't just include the scripts in the next version, 4.11?

It would be useful to have an option to run scripts for a previous
version. An example is current database version is 4.10 but some
scripts have been added to a previous branch (4.9). These scripts from
4.9 will now never run.
I know this is probably a bit non-standard but would be a useful
enhancement.
