When you use a boot loader it will use space from the available flash memory. The compiler does not know if you use a boot loader or not. When your program exceeds the available space and runs into the boot sector space, it will overwrite the boot loader.

The $loadersize directive will take the boot loader size into account so you will get an error when the target file gets too big.

When you select the MCS boot loader as programmer the IDE also will take into account the specified boot loader size.

The directive can be used when you have a different programmer selected. For example an external programmer that does not know about the boot size.
