Can somebody explain in which way this is useful ?
Same question for the GELI code for non-EFI loader.

BIOS cannot read raw data from the encrypted partition, so you need
either old boot or the loader and some additional data on EFI boot
partition anyway.

Features adds significant amount of code, which must be maintained in
parallel with the kernel code.
