I am not sure if the assumption is made clear in this series, but I am (perhaps incorrectly) guessing that it is assumed that the intended use of this feature is to offload access to large blobs by not including them in the initial clone. So from that point of view, I think it makes tons of sense to let the external helper to directly populate the database bypassing Git (i.e. instead of feeding data stream and have Git store it) like this "direct" method does. How does this compare with (and how well does this work with) what Jonathan Tan is doing recently?
