"Why write an 'unaccompanied song'? Why not just write a song? Singers will decide whether to accompany or not." Songs written with accompaniament aren't always easy to reproduce unaccompanied. When people try to sing a song crafted with accompaniament by pulling the words out of the tune you can sometimes hear the 'holes' where the music should be. Writing a song with the unaccompanied singer in mind from the start means none of that complication, and of course it doesn't necessarily preclude someone adding accompaniament later anyway.
