I believe it is there to prevent icing of the throttlebody in cooler temperatures.

Lots of people have just routed their hoses without going through the TB. I personally did and I live in WY so we have winters that see temps way below 0. I have never had the TB stick on me so far.

I bypassed my throttlebody with the coolant line.

If I weren't so lazy, I would have even run a new line without breaks. Instead, I just made a coupler out of air line fittings.
