Cigna Substandered Previous Dececline Question

Why does Cigna ask if previously declined on app for substandard, I mean that is the whole point someone who can't get cov elsewhere and is willing to pay those rates would usually have been declined elsewhere

Will they really turn down buiz based on that alone on substandard rate?

I understand for preferred rate but substandard rate make no sense to ask that question
