importance????

I think it's for when someone prints the datasheet.

I hate when they do that. I find myself wanting to write on my computer
screen.

for example, the

on page

These are images of paper documents. When printing on paper (2-sided), you
have to have an even number of pages. Because of the way the sheets are fed
through the press and then folded, it costs nothing more to print "Notes" on
the last page, and it makes it evident to all the manufacturing people that
they are looking at a successfully printed document, not a blank piece of
paper.

Or here's another question: why do people need to have more than 1 question
mark after a question?

That's why they had to fire the blond secretary - the computer screen got
all covered with white-out.

It's because the guy gets paid by the page. ;-)

Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

It is an alternative for "This page intentionally left blank".

Most .pdfs we see were originally prepared for hard copy - printing on
both sides, you want an even number of pages. If the datasheet
requires an odd number of pages, they want to put _something_ on the
last page, so it isn't blank, to prevent readers from thinking they
might have missed something.
