Perhaps, but it's important to some people.

You're missing the point. The scenario is that you create an
application that is going to be packaged and distributed as a J2EE
application. You do not want or need to expose the entire CF Admin as
part of that application - you've already set up all the admin
settings when you packaged the app for deployment. The app might need
some configuration after deployment - perhaps a data source setup,
perhaps your app is only coded to support MySQL and SQL Server - so
you build a simple admin that allows the purchaser of your packaged
app to configure the app to talk to their existing MySQL or SQL Server
database.

And these have what relevance to a packaged, deployed J2EE application?
