Several things it brings to the table:
1-avoids /dastardly/ "flicker" on mode switching during startup
2-bling/eye candy during startup
3-bloats initrd
4-encryption handling
5-yet another tool for systemd to disrupt startup/shutdown

Its progenitor seems to be Fedora/Gnome:

On my own installations I always block its installation, or remove it, or disable
it, depending on how and when it comes to my attention.
