It's following the same pattern as the rest of the Geometry classes. The
reason for using a CoordinateSequence is to allow the client to supply
alternate representations for the coordinate storage (e.g. by backing the
CS with some other external structure, such as some other geometry API, or
perhaps a blob of compressed storage of some kind).
Agreed that this make Point quite heavy, however. This is an issue of Java
vs say C++ (in which language implementation details like this can be
"compiled away").
A goal of the next rev of the JTS API is to make the Geometry types
interfaces. That should allow much lightweight implementations.
