There is a single use: Userspace application clients can look up the
value of this flag via the sg driver and can then come to whatever
conclusions.

The flag was "half true" back in the times when sbp2 mangled a lot of
commands and responses to account for command sets behind the back of
the SCSI stack. That's not the case any more.

Yes. I merely didn't ready a patch because I currently want to
concentrate my SBP-2 related work on sbp2 and push relevant bits over to
fw-sbp2 some time later in one go, as far as you didn't do so already.
(I'll send a parallel fw-sbp2 patch too if something earthshaking comes
along.)
