You're not missing anything. The person specifying, designing, requiring this in the name of life safety is missing a sense of reality. The system will protect the steel at the top, and to some extent the steel walls. I guess to some extent it might protect firefighters. If there is a life safety issue, the specifier, designer, requirer should look for another code complying mitigation.
