Why do we need vfs.root.mountfrom for zfs

I was wondering why oh, why do we need to set
vfs.root.mountfrom in /boot/loader.conf in order to boot from zfs.
zpools have bootfs option.

This info is redundant.
I think one of two could be totally avoided at least in case when we boot form gptzfsboot.

What I'm missing?
