Because it might be confusing? I don't know...

Step One:
Build a sphere out of artificial diamond. Pure diamond, no defects, absolutely uniform crystal lattice in all directions.
Step Two:
Go out into space and find a location where gravitational and electromagnetic effects from all locations are absolutely uniform. It'll probably be midway between two galaxies.
Step Three:
Plant your diamond in that location and give it a nudge to spin it. There you go, a moving object with nothing to stop it. Certainly not a USEFUL machine, but perpetual motion.

We have these things. They're called stars, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, interstellar dusts...
