Purely my curiosity.

I know the case, when a paper got accepted at a conference or journal, and one can upload their work on Arxiv. But my question is, some works are uploaded only on Arxiv. Does it mean the author doesn’t want to submit their work at the conference but wants to release their work? Or, do they have another plan for submission after their release?

I’m asking because my recent work got rejected at a conference, but I don’t want to delve into this anymore. Do people like the same situation used to upload their abandoned work on Arxiv as well?
