it is not

the reason to set it is prevent unauthorized users to
boot whatever they like or change params in the kernel
line - this is another topic as disk encryption

it is hardly needed if you have locked down boot
from external media and set a BIOS password and
wnat to make 100% sure your machines is only stared
exactly as it is configured

for security cases there is no "this is the solution"
you need to keep in mind ALL SORTS of attack metrics
