It's just that the u-boot files get loaded from the eMMC first. So the only reasons for flashing the eMMC, is to either use it, or to update the boot files. If you never use the eMMC, you can even "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk1" and never worry about the eMMC's u-boot getting in the way again.
