Presumably it's to give you the option of not opening a debugger.

There are probably lots of cases in which you might not want to
open the full debugger. One example might be if you were trying to
get the debugger working under ToolBuilder in MVC, in which case
you might appreciate being able to at least open a simple notifier
even though the rest of the debugger UI is not yet working.

Another case might be when you get into one of those runaway error
conditions that starts putting up notifiers all over the place
while you are frantically pounding on <alt><period> to try to get
it to stop. Not that this has ever happened to me of course ;)
