If I have a file on machineA with uid10001 and I copy the file to machineB, I might want it to retain that uid, but it shouldn't matter to machineB that it doesn't map to a real user.
Hopefully that user actually doesn’t exist on the second machine!
You’ll see this observation all the time building containers.
Don't if you only run them with root user.
or with ipa-esque authentication schemes and shared mounts
And NFS!
