This is the kind of thing that support engineers love. Instead of having to email a bunch of complex SQL statements to a customer that is having trouble, they can verbally walk through a system catalog type query.
My proprietary database has a very simple system catalog that very human readable, which saves time and improves accuracy. So, it isn't just end users, it is those that touch them as well.

If there are things (like not dropping columns) that you want to change about
the spec, fine. But if you think that nobody needs these views, it's
because you haven't had much contact with end users lately.
