The one advantage is that your changes also apply to any tabs rendered via the core. So you can use your "my-tab-caption" field with any tiddler and see it work with the core macro, without having to point to a different macro. But, that entirely appears to be a matter of preference. It sure ain't a bad decision to leave core components as-is and have updates do their thing... and to create your own variant(s). I just wanted to point out that you don't have to. In fact, I think your proposition should be a pull request to the core. Because, wherever captions are used, it is nice to see them be generic, but there are plenty cases where you need a use-case specific caption and not a generic one, as you rightfully pointed out.
