In other words, why is it appropriate to list the close, minimize, zoom and
toolbar buttons of a window BOTH as children and as attributes? Well, I
guess it's more convenient to get at them as attributes than as children.

You've nailed the reason why they're attributes: convenience.

Sometimes these types of attributes are more than convenience in that there's
no other way to reliably pick the items out of the children list. In the case
of these window buttons, their subrole distinguish them, but there are other
cases (e.g. the label of a text box) where you can't tell them from the other
children.
