Because the script will abort after the mount fails.

root@dirac:~# cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash

set -e

mount /boot/efi2

echo "do important stuff"

root@dirac:~# ./test.sh
mount: /boot/efi2: /dev/sda2 already mounted on /boot/efi2.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.


Note that do important stuff is never reached.
