Some examples certainly would have been helpful... I can give one common example. Special-purpose client systems (consumer devices, car infotainment systems, etc.) seldom require or configure a DNS name. In most IPv4 situations, though, these types of systems would receive their addresses through DHCP, usually through an ISPs DHCP server. In many cases, ISPs provide generic (e.g. hostNNNNNNN.isp.com) host names for all of the addresses in their DHCP pool, so that reverse lookups will work, etc. But the operating system and TCP/IP stack on the device do not actually require that a hostname be configured.
