Their pet value is actually used when you try to sell a caged wild magma crab to a caravan. They don't need to be tameable for that.

No. Untamed creatures cannot be sold. If you order a cage containing an untamed creature (magma crab, wild turkey, or goblin) to be hauled to the trade depot the dorfs will remove the creature from the cage and then haul the empty cage to the trade depot.

Giving creatures pet values without means to train them can be considered a way of future proofing the raw for a possible future change where you can convert a creature to a pet/familiar using magic.
