True, it doesn't (at least that I see) provide any way for applications in the same container to communicate beyond the user profile information and data extensions. But by providing a standardized set of APIs for accessing container information, it goes a long way towards making it possible for different container sites to interoperate -- and for the same app to operate on multiple sites, which opens up other integration possibilities.
That's what I'm most interested in. But then I am looking at it as someone interested in implementing a container as opposed to writing an application.
