The gap is to avoid core saturation from DC. If you don't put DC through the core (parafeed) there will be no saturation to avoid. The downside is that gapped SE transformers have to be comparatively bigger with more turns and thus more expense compared to a non-gapped opt designed for SE parafeed for the same power output.
