For the "why", go into Script Editor, and in a new window type:
display dialog "Hello world"
then compile, and choose File -> Save. Why does the resulting dialog

another app floating in front of Script Editor, so that, for
example, the contents of the window could be changed before the
dialog was dismissed?
That's not really what I'm asking. You're describing an application
displaying a modal dialog. That's the same as a script displaying a
dialog inside the application that's running the script. What I'm
asking is: Why is it important to be able to tell *another*
application to display the dialog on behalf of the application that's
running the script?
