Can you clarify the first couple lines of the readme and the description at https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/io.spring.dependency-management?

A Gradle plugin that provides Maven-like dependency management and exclusions. The plugin provides a DSL to configure dependency management directly and by importing existing Maven boms.

Gradle already provides a DSL for configuring dependencies. It's already "Maven-like" in all sorts of ways, including importing BOMs. What problem, if any, does this plugin solve?
