This is useful when you don't want the server to rebuild in the middle of something. A good example is when running e2e tests. Especially on larger suites, one would prefer to continue working while the build is tested without compromising tests. This will break tests on #4744. They should be adjusted to add the `--watch` flag since they depend on the live reload behaviour during `ng e2e`.
