That's for a new style of "bag" that goes above the top tube, like so:
Note that there are no straps around the top tube, since it's bolted in place there. These are sometimes called "bento boxes" and became a thing with long gravel races. They're usually used to store food.

I guess that you’d need to use blind bosses there to avoid water / rust issues?

Beautiful!
Back in the 1980s we had trouble with seat lugs that were threaded for the seat binder bolt. If the ear got bent, the bolt would break. A replacement bolt would break, too.
