It also avoids the need to figure out exactly which Boot Services
regions may have become corrupt.

This would be necessary since you can't keep all Boot Services regions

size, even on relatively low-end laptops that don't have huge amounts
of RAM to begin with.

Freeing Boot Services regions is pretty important.
