I generally agree, and I think that had mutation events never been implemented (I'm looking at you Hyatt) the world would probably not have missed them very much.
More to the point, if browsers would give us XBL2 mutation events would be a whole lot less needed. (Yes Jonas, you know at whom I'm looking).
One thing that mutation events were used a lot for back in the old days of ASV (that supported them early on, IIRC in v3) was to add behaviour through decoration. Basically you could add a foo:draggable="true" on an element and know that a JS library would detect that change and make your element draggable. It's the poor man's XBL really.
