That helps in this context mainly because the krb5 API has support for
prompting, whereas GSS does not.  Well, and because the OS can use
MS-KKDCP out-of-band rather than the app having to use IAKERB in-band.

I think really what this means is that IAKERB for arquiring initial
credentials is mainly uninteresting.
