Why was Array.prototype.forEach designed to skip undefined values?

It is not invoked for indexes which have been deleted or which have been initialized to undefined.

Why?

You can clearly see that Array.forEach does not skip undefined values (that the key here). Only undefined as in deleted will be skipped.
