You don't have to apply a lifecycle to a document.
Most typically, a lifecycle is used for review/approval
For example, you could have a simple lifecycle with 3 states Work in progress, For Review and Approved and each state could have it specifics information for example, in the Work in Progress state, you could set the permissions on the document so that only the contributors can see/access it then in the For review state, only the reviewers can see and view it and then when approved, the document is made available for everybody in View only (for example)
If you are asking why would someone use Documentum lifecycle, then answer would typically be:
Lifecycle can be used to manage the state of a document (eg Draft, In Review, Approved, etc). When you promote a document from one state to another, you can define lifecycle actions that can be executed as part of the promotion (eg change acl from draft_acl to review_acl). You can also define precondition on the lifecycle state (eg you cant promote a document unless review_date has a value set).
