'In ASP.NET Core, why are authorization handlers called even if authentication fails?

There is a note in the docs for Policy-based authorization in ASP.NET Core thay says:

Authorization handlers are called even if authentication fails.

But there is no further explanation why. What is the purpose of executing authorization handlers if user is not even authenticated?
