That's the defense against removing amalgam that has already been introduced, it's safer locked away than trying to drill it out and risking high level exposure.

In my experience the mercury amalgam fillings tend to crumble and plop out in pieces after a few years. Maybe not the entire filling, but enough to where they'll have to declare a do-over, drill and augment/replace with more mercury amalgam.
