I'm sure I am being dense... but I thought Atom was all about
syndication? Perhaps we have different definitions of what "syndication"
means?

hAtom is just semantics. You can do with them whatever you want. For most this is subscribing. For other's it's "put it in a database and make it searchable"

Just because a format was developed with a certain set of use cases in mind doesn't mean that the semantics wouldn't be useful in other use cases.
