If it could be used to get the bytes from a file object, then
marshal.c could use it; the code calls the "read" method on file
objects and then has to check if it got a bytearray or bytes instance
in order to get the raw string to do its work. Otherwise the
conversion to bytes would help by eliminating the separate bytearray
check.
