What does the dovecot acl plugin actually do?

Can I reasonably do shared mailboxes without the acl plugin? I do personal mailbox sharing completely with unix permissions: i.e. some accounts put their mailboxes in a unix group so that everyone in that group can access it. Even the IMAP ACL RFC considers unix permission based implementations legit (i.e. some IMAP permissions end up being linked). The sentence "When testing you could first try accessing shared/public mailboxes without ACL plugin even enabled." from the [dovecot acl doc] indicates that sharing works without that acl plugin.---So what does it bring to the table?
