Little confused by the spec of a max 90mV dropout while the Bias voltage needs to be >=1.5V higher than the regulated voltage.
So this regulator is only good in the case where that higher voltage is already present in the system?

Yes. A 90mV max drop at 800mA is well above par. The tradeoff is that you need a higher voltage.
Plenty of general purpose LDOs out there if you don't have the higher voltage rail.
