There are several similar formats allowing to do the exact same thing with other chips: I'm most familiar with mediatek, but essentially it's always a read-only bootloader, in case the normal boot can't start.

I can't imagine google forgetting to add an EDL-like reflash mode for their SoC.

I can however imagine them not providing the files needed for the reflash, since that's been true since they used Qualcomm.
