Understanding step 41 of Learn HTML by building a cat photoapp

HTML-CSS
1

Hello, I am currently on step 41.

Q. To prevent a user from submitting your form when required information is missing, you need to add the required attribute to an input element. There’s no need to set a value to the required attribute. Instead, just add the word required to the input element, making sure there is space between it and other attributes.

I don’t have a problem with the challenge itself but I would like to understand why the required attribute does need a value.

Thanks!
