Currently if you have a template in /templates without a _ prefix, Craft will automatically generate a Route matching that path for you. This can seem useful, but I'd argue is more likely to cause an issue than to be helpful.
I argue that for a few reasons:
We don't always remember this and prefix our templates correctly, which can lead to unexpected routes and duplicate URLs.
Our filesystem shouldn't have to mirror our URLs.
95% of pages should have a corresponding entry in Craft. Even something like a blog index page still needs at least SEO fields in the CMS (even if it doesn't need any other fields). Pages like that should be a single mapped to a template.
If you really want to have a route without an entry, you can create that easily using config/craft/routes.php
