Why would you want to? Just drop some troops and take the planet.

True, but there are the occasions when the attack ships arrive without troops and you don't want to glass the planet.

Sometimes in the very early game, especially if "Empires allowed to start in the same sector" is on, one may want to blockade a nearby enemy planet before you have researched troops. Having a pool of slav..., volunteers that breathe another atmosphere is a great bonus to your burgeoning empire and may be worth tying down a ship for a few turns while waiting for the Imperial Guard to arrive.
