Elasticsearch: why use 'should' rather than 'must' for 'q' matches?

The defuzzer uses 'should' for the multi-match positive entries
derived from the query string.

AFAICT this only works because the 'minimum_should_match' value is set
to the number of word to match.

Why not use 'must' instead?
Seems to me that scoring is not really relevant for Ponymail queries.
