Using GCContextFillRect() vs. NSBezierPath's class methods

In the Developer sample code there's a project named Quartz/PathDemo, that looks like a very minimal example of drawing code. It eschews completely the conventional path (pardon the pun) of calling the NSBezierPath class method +fillRect:(NSRect) method to draw, instead getting the current context and calling GCContextFillRect().

What are the pros/cons of doing it this way? Or to put it a different way, what point was this sample code supposed to illustrate? There's a 30-line comment about copyright, but zero lines of comment about what the point (so to speak) of this example is.
