Of course it has a logical meaning, if you handle me a programming spec, it can say don't write any code to support widows & orphans i.e. code the renderer as if those concepts did not exist..
Just like you would say turn off ( or leave out) support for hyphenation, or for Small Caps - it's just a CSS feature that can be implemented. or not, or implemented as a toggleable preference.
I think you'll find that adobe renderer has an undocumented setting:
adobe-text-layout: optimizeSpeed
that does exactly that, it renders with minimal features, for speed on low powered devices. It causes widows & orphans, and hyphenation to be "turned off"
