Some minor modes are modifications to a specific set of major modes, so
they can only work with those modes. For instance, electric mode
modifies a number of language modes.
Other minor modes are more general, and can work with any major mode.
For instance, auto-fill mode. But sometimes it's not very useful -- you
probably don't want to do auto filling when editing programs rather than
text.
