Typically only a single controller should process a given resource. If multiple controllers are updating the status, they can fight over who controls the status.
SkipStatusUpdate is a flag for ResourceReconciler that allows a reconciler to augment another controller without conflicting with the primary resource. This means that any errors or success state will not appear on the resource, this state will need to be communicated via other means, like logs and events.
Finalizers may still be set, but requires the other controller(s) to be accommodating of foreign finalizers.
