And this more closely aligns with the existing WordPress approach of registering new types of content (post types, taxonomies, etc.) This is also a developer feature, aimed towards site builders. And real developers don't need UIs ;) (But really, though, the main benefit of this fact comes into play when you're working with multiple environments, i.e. development/local, qa/staging, production. This approach makes it easy to replicate UIs and features without having to worry about database synchronization and other crazy things.)
