Anyone familiar with conditional access, will have noticed this access control in Conditional Access policies. So what does it mean , How can I enable this, Is this a good feature.

This is not a good feature, it is an excellent feature. The best way to describe this control requirement is as follows. DO NOT GRANT access unless the machine is DOMAIN JOINED. Many enterprise companies have corporate wifi rolled out and only permit access to the corporate wifi via credentials and a machine certificate issued by the local certificate authority.
