Well, one advantage is that the method works even if you no longer have a functional BN recovery in place. E.g if you lost power while trying to flash clockwork mod (a much better recovery scheme, IMO) and no longer even have a functional on-board recovery program in place of any kind.

And once you have a bootable SD card with clockwork on it, the rest of the restore goes much faster than trying to do 8 failed boots. And it does show just how hard it is to truely brick the nook. By giving the SD boot priority, the Nook is extremely hacker-friendly.
