If I understand correctly, `LaTeX-item-argument' is provided for
environments where the optional argument is virtually mandatory.
(Correct me if I'm wrong.)  The output of `grep LaTeX-item-argument *.el
*/*.el' is:

latex.el:(defun LaTeX-item-argument ()
latex.el:  (set (make-local-variable 'LaTeX-item-list) '(("description" . 
LaTeX-item-argument)
style/currvita.el:   (add-to-list 'LaTeX-item-list '("cvlist" . 
LaTeX-item-argument))
style/enumitem.el:      (add-to-list 'LaTeX-item-list `(,env . 
LaTeX-item-argument)))))
style/enumitem.el:     (add-to-list 'LaTeX-item-list '("description*" . 
LaTeX-item-argument)))
style/enumitem.el:           (add-to-list 'LaTeX-item-list `(,name . 
LaTeX-item-argument)))
style/paralist.el:   (add-to-list 'LaTeX-item-list '("compactdesc" . 
LaTeX-item-argument))
style/scrbase.el:(add-to-list 'LaTeX-item-list '("labeling" . 
LaTeX-item-argument))

The function is called only in environments that are added to
`LaTeX-item-list' in the form (envname . LaTeX-item-argumet).  For other
environments, `LaTeX-item-argument' does not interfere at all.
