The point is to have better regen. And hybrids are not required to be plug in, though you can add a battery and motor if you like, maybe the rear wheels regen electric too, but hydraulic should be primarily for braking if it works out.

Re capturing 80% would be huge, but I don't know what engineering compromises are in play with that figure.
