I guess I was asking why is this done in Lisp, not in C.  The
decrypted stuff is human-readable text, is it not?  Then why would a

No, it's not. This is called from the backend protocol implementation of IMAP, for example. When Gnus wants to load a mailbox, it calls the IMAP code (Elisp) which then calls into GSSAPI to perform the decryption of the underlying packets.
