    No reason at all.

    In mirroring only one database is in-use so there are no collision issues.

    Is someone confusing this with replication where several sites are in-use and synch to each other? uniqueidentifier has a use here (and is mandatory in some cases) but still not as clustered index. And you use NOT FOR REPLICATION clauses on triggers and IDENTITY etc
