Understanding Wireguard selective routing tutorial

[gstyle]

Hi,
I set up selective routing following this tutorial:
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/wireguard-selective-routing.html

Works fine.

However, I do not really understand "Step 9".
Outgoing traffic from the VPN address, that does not go into the VPN net shall go through the VPN gateway.

What is happening here???

I'd like to understand what that step 9 is for - I have wireguard working without implementing that
