Somewhat OT maybe. But possibly this was to support AppleScript/Apple Event’s?
Apple by default provided a AppleScript JSR 223 engine.
Apple Event’s would be needed to handle a couple different Apple Events. One being 'open document’ if your application wants to allow associated files that will launch it when a document is double clicked.
