A celebrity may take an uncredited role for a number of reasons.
1. They may think that the movie is truly awful, but they are contractually obligated to appear, but want to downplay their prescence as much as possible.
2. They may be doing an "independent film" and don't want their name to overshadow the movie.
3. They may be a fan of a particular series of movies and take a very small role in one of the films. A good example of this is Christian Slater who had an uncredited role in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. He even had a line to say.

I agree, these are all reasons that make sense.
