Why is it beneficial to be able to boot the backup on the external HD using SD when you can restore the iMAC HD with Time Machine from the external HD?

Is it because, you can run the bootable external SD backup immediately, but the iMAC HD might need to be replaced which would take a while? Of course, eventually, you would have to have your iMAC taken to pieces to change a broken internal HD and neither SD ot TM will save time then......

What say ye?
