Hmm, it’s possible it does use the EAF, I’ve always dumped out Erlang Core when I want to see what it is making so that is above that…

The primary reason to use Erlang Abstract Format instead of Core Erlang is tooling. Using that we get, basically for free dialyzer, cover, debugger and erl_eval. Compiling to Core is also a bit awkward since it’s a moving target - it’s treated as an internal detail of the Erlang compiler and changing rather frequently between releases.
