Hello,
as no new answer so far, I started to experiment.
It seems that [at least] component id(s) cannot be omitted:
---- Prod.mkiv
\startproduct % PPP
\component Comp.mkiv
Product
\stopproduct
----
And:
---- Comp.mkiv
\startcomponent % CCC
%\product Prod
%\project Proj
Component
\stopcomponent
----
- Gives a wrong product, as Prod.pdf doesn't include the component.
Another test:
---- Prod.mkiv
\startproduct _ % PPP
\component Comp.mkiv
\component Comp2.mkiv
Product
\stopproduct
----
And:
---- Comp.mkiv
\startcomponent _ % CCC
Component
\stopcomponent
----
---- Comp2.mkiv
\startcomponent _ % CCC
Component2
\stopcomponent
----
Gives a good result.
So it seems that [at least some] ids are required, and just not-to-be-empty.
I tested the case when all product/component ids were the same, i.e. "_", as a
dummy value.
As later the ids are referred nowhere, it seems that they are necessary just
due to syntactical rules.
Or - ?

It's a very interesting question, I was asking myself the same and
I'm curious about the answer. The ConTeXt magazine #1101 - Project
Structure¹ is reserved about this topic and simply states:
“The names given after the start command are not that important…”
I had always previously PPP and CCC as existing filenames on the
disk.
I always used filenames, too.
But I would like to extend Luke's question on this issue: You can
load an existing component to other components?
The ConTeXt magazine #1101 includes a table of the possible
combinations of the commands. From this table I conclude that
components are allowed between:
∙ \starttext \stoptext
∙ \startcomponent \stopcomponent
∙ \startproduct \stopproduct
