It would appear that they anticipate other codexes in 6th edition potentially ignoring invul saves, especially since it's technically granted by a passive psychic power and something might someday shut those down.

No, it's that GW includes stats, even when there's probably no chance they'll ever be used. Like models that can't take guns having a BS score above 0. Maybe it's something that will never be used, but there's no reason not to have it either.

Teeeeechnically guys with BS and no guns can often use guns mounted on scenery. This is even in the BRB, but people don't use it often.

Heh. I had all the bits ready to make my Tyraniddy -counts as- Autocannon turrets and Icarus lascannon, when I stopped and thought 'hang on, this is basically how armouries worked in RT, everyone having alien guns that worked just the same as bolters etc'.
