Including the ntfs module in grubx64.efi would allow secure boot users to load things from ntfs partitions.

For example, I could install grub-efi in a fat32 partition of a usb stick,
then extract the windows.iso contents to an ntfs partition in the same stick (they don't fit in fat32 as install.wim is over 4 GiB), and easily create a multiboot stick, as grub would allow me to boot ubuntu.iso as well.

I.e. live USB tool creators could use that method in their tools.

Additionally, some Linux DVDs exceed 4 GiB, so people won't be able to store them in a fat32 partition, and ext4 handling is hard in Windows where some people will want to create the stick in.
