You're missing a key thing that fsck.xfs does that fstab expects to work - it fails with an error if the device is missing. If the device is present, then fsck.xfs returns success. We did this because people were having problems when devices took a long time to instantiate (e.g. SAN, iscsi and other remote devices) and the 'device exists' check prevents /etc/fstab trying to mount the filesystems before they are present and then throwing a hissy fit....
