If you're serious...
You need a backup control file in case of the loss of all online copies of the control file. Also, to do point in time recovery to recover a dropped tablespace, you need to use a backup controlfile from before the tablespace was dropped.
Forgive me if I've missed the point of your statement.
Best!
