Of course it doesn't make sense. Accidents happen. Let me help you
answering your question.

Why is there a protection for rm -fr?
It might come handy when you use rm in a script and its argument is
some variable that accidentally resolves to /

Or perhaps you were typing
rm -fr /path/to/bad/file
but your pinky accidentally hit ENTER at the wrong time.

Now you should be able to think of simple cases for yum or rpm yourself. :)
