Dude,
The reason is, that these crusts can add flavor and dimension to
steaks. They are popular and obviously a profit enhancer too. (Meat
with, grease, cheese, fat and salt can go a long way.) BTW it's the
blue cheese and the spices that appear to carry the crusts flavor
here, not the cream cheese.

Enjoy your bagel.
