It would be useful especially for flashdisks because you otherwise have to create those CHS values. The T20 BIOS apparently does this by reading the MBR or BPB - that's a really bad idea for the BIOS. LBA calls are just easier to use and, I presume, easier to translate in the BIOS if you're addressing a flashdisk.
