Why anyone would want to do such a thing?

Yes it does seem odd. Surely if you don't want your site found just make it private.

thats what private sites are designed to do.
That's ok if you set your site to private at the outcome and google never finds you, but if you didn't realise what would happen and set it to private after you've already been googled, then how do you get google to drop your listing? I presume that's what he's bothered about. The default setting when you get a new site is not "private".

If you make a site private after it has been public, when Google next re-indexes it still shows the site title but says the site does not exist. Eventually it drops down/off the listing.

The question was not that silly since Google has an answer for it:
Indeed, each wikidot site has by default a robots.txt file.
Example: http://blog.wikidot.com/robots.txt
Google Webmaster Tools has a wizard to customise robots.txt
Example:
Question: How can we modify this robots.txt ?
This is very important. Any serious hosting platform should allow webmasters control over this file. If it needs to be part of a pro upgrade, then fair enough -
You probably mean: an option to remove our wiki from search engines?
