The rational in the proposed approach is meant for cases where the user does not want to rely on external firmware layers. While UEFI could do what you are describing, the point is to avoid this not so trivial overhead in the booting process. Especially in the case of thin guests, where another software dependency is undesired.
Can you boot an x86 QEMU/KVM ACPI-using guest without running the BIOS?
