To me, the whole thing sounds like cheating in benchmarks. Intel built a tool that will only activate for a specific benchmark - but not for real-world software which accomplishes similar things - and then the tool will replace generic bytecode with a (most likely) handcrafted and optimized variant for running this specific benchmark on this specific CPU. That means BOT will only boost the benchmark score, but not help at all with the end-user workflows that the benchmark is trying to emulate. Thereby, Intel's BOT makes the benchmark score misleading, which is why Geekbench is flagging them.
