Comment (by Chouby):

 Just a convention.

 Fortunately, most themes authors display only taxonomy they know (i.e.
 default taxonomies) as done by default themes.

 But a few themes authors think "Oh! Plugins can add their own taxonomies,
 so let's display them". {{{get_taxonomies()}}} to build the list and it's
 done ;-)

 Then I have users coming to the forum: "Hey I have weird "categories"
 displayed aside my categories and post tags. How to remove them?" and I
 use to answer: "Please ask your theme author not to display non public
 taxonomy". Using {{{get_taxonomies( array( 'public" => true ) )}}} instead
 of {{{get_taxonomies()}}} made the trick until now.
