This can be done for comedy, for allowing the player to play a lesser but still significant role, a heroic type where the real chosen one is killed off or otherwise unable to perform their chosen duty and you somehow manage to do it (despite not being the guy the prophecy or whatever talks about nor the super-enhanced kid nor the child of a god), or whatever else.
