Because listing mailboxes always starts with the namespace that has no prefix. If you have only one namespace with prefix="" and list=no, you wouldn't have any listable mailboxes anywhere.
For example if you have:
namespace {
prefix = foo/
list = no
}
It won't show up with normal list:
a LIST "" *
But you can list its mailboxes with:
b LIST "" foo/*
But then if you have
namespace {
prefix =
list = no
}
Now both a and b are exactly the same:
ab LIST "" *
