Non editing Evil commands in evil-normal-state-map

Modes in which direct editing of text isn't sensical generally initialize in motion or emacs state. This means that the evil-normal-state-map is inactive. But there are some useful Evil commands in evil-normal-state-map that don't involve editing text, such as: evil-record-macro what-cursor-position find-file-at-point evil-quit and several others. These are unavailable in for example Buffer Menu, even though they would make sense there. What's the reason behind putting non editing commands in evil-normal-state-map?
