Parliament doesn’t trust her. That’s the real significance. If it did trust her you are correct, this legislation wouldn’t be necessary. It could also put Parliament in control of future extensions, if required.
The EU will allow an extension. Every passing day makes a second referendum and ultimately remaining more likely. There’s no reason for the EU to arbitrarily guillotine the process - if they wanted to they could/would have done it on March 29th.
