Common-mode currents are detrimental to antenna system efficiency, noise or unwanted signal ingress, and/or pattern. Common mode currents:

in verticals with sparse counterpoise systems negatively impact system efficiency
in all transmitting antennas can increase local RFI
in receiving systems increase noise floor
in all antenna systems can alter antenna pattern, especially in nulls
