There is a benefit for languages other than Java, that can use this as a means to determine whether the interface is suitable for passing to the SAM conversion machinery.

But this would miss non-annotated classes, wouldn't it?

(If javac is supposed to synthesize this annotation on interfaces which are of SAM type, but not yet annotated as such, then this should be mentioned in the documentation.)
