Why so many useless components in the Servers tab?

What am I missing? The only components that work standalone are the
application components. All the others need to be connected first via
the ConnectTo method.
Seems the only advantage is that you don't have to worry about stuff
like for instance myNameSpace := TNameSpace.Create and myNameSpace.Free
afterwards? (For outlook namespaces.)
Am I getting this right?

These components are a scam. The only useful feature is the built-in support
for events if the particular object supports it and you happen to need an
event from that object.
Otherwise, don't bother.
