Why are you surprised?

For example, your application is bundled with it's own copy of Qt libs, and there's system-wide installation of Qt libs in /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64). You set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in start script and - voilà - your application loads proper (bundled) libraries instead of system ones.
