These getter are meant to avoid boilerplate code using getAttributes so they're not completely indispensable, maybe except the getter on indexes of the module which could be accessed by reflection but that would be horrible. There are a lot of use cases of showing class attributes in graphical components or ASCII table in console. If we parse a class file, the elements must be accessible inside it, not just a toString representation of module components, that one would have to reparse. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
