That's a good point, Lyle. But Communication_Endpoint is a pretty general classs that could cover pretty much anything that doesn't have its own class. ConnectivitySegment and several others are categorization subclasses beneath the ConnectivityCollection class. The relationships between the CIs are especially important with network segments, so just dumping them into ComputerSystem might tend to hamstring that if not done correctly.
Between all of those and perhaps a few more Categorization values, you should be covered.
