Other than the risk of it falling out, what does it harm? Really. It could be threaded and will never fall out. The homeowner could be using it as a pre-drain, so he could control the backup (drain to bucket) before he removed the cleanout cap, and had a major mess to deal with.

The risk of getting stuff stuck on the bolt on the way down causing a clog
