As I understand it, the purpose of this SCP is to, on a meta level, make any and all future submitted "it's normally fine, but don't let it touch a dead body!" SCPs redundant, since that's an easy, low-creativity cliche.
So it's intentionally unimaginative. The point is to fill up that role.
I don't know if that's even a smart idea or not, but it's one of the older SCPs so getting rid of it would probably be more trouble than what it is worth.
