They could be just reserved do that it wouldn't be possible to create them
Same should apply for accounts which are indefinitely blocked, the fact that someone block user "Bob" on some wikipedia, doesn't mean that Bob can't participate on another project. There are many active users who are indefinitely blocked on another project, so why not to process them as well

Not doing so, would potentially cause issues the same as we already do where the accounts can't unify because they exist elsewhere.
I'm talking about the account only existint in the indefinetly blocked project. Also note the case of accounts oversighted so they don't appear at Special:Listusers, would be a real failure to begin showing them at Special:Globalusers.
