The definitions above are interpreted by the \uppercase primitive. In
the old TeX (without encTeX, without Lua) accented characters are not
natively supported, the inputenc package converts them to LICR. That's
why \MakeUppercase is needed because it first converts the argument to
a form that can be handled by \uppercase and subsequently sent to the
output via the fontenc package. In XeTeX it is different. These
packages are not used because Unicode is directly supported. Thus even
\uppercase can be used.
