From the FAQ
'Add “Independent Characters that have succumbed to the Red Thirst can only join the Death Company, and units that have
also succumbed to the Red Thirst.'
Does this mean I should always be taking a unit of DC to make sure my IC dosent get stuck by himself?

There is no rule saying that you have to take death company. Is it a good idea? Well that is a topic for the tactics forum, but nothing says you MUST take them. He can be by himself.

They’re on a constant Crusade, keeping it real for the Emperor and not bumming around like the other guys. They hate psykers and can’t ally with them. They’re basically an entire chapter of Chaplains. CC lunatics. What every Space Marine should aspire to be, if not trapped in a Matt Ward nightmare.

It exists for reasons unknown to the public.

I suspect it is because there is a variant of Captain Tycho which has 'succumbed to the red thirst' and they felt they had to cover all their bases?
(Strangely enough though the 'pre-succumb' Tycho does not have the 'red thirst' special rule, and the 'post-succumb' version no longer counts as an independant character at that point so he can't join 'anything', let alone a death company unit.)

The concept is called future proffing. Something I would like to see GW do more of. Kinda like how there are nice shiny anti-air missiles in the main rulebook but noone knows where the storage key is.
Someday there may be a character that requiers this FAQ, or can use those missiles, and they will already have the groundwork laid out for it.
