I may be missing something, but it seems as though the information is useful because, in an ideal system, at least, there should be a direct relationship between the primaries and the gamut of the device, at least at those three corners, with some logical extrapolation as to where other gamut edges might be. Right?
The profiling software might, due to its own logical flaws, reduce the available gamut when the display is assigned that profile, but comparing the raw primary data seems useful in terms of an apple-to-apples comparison.
In other words, understanding the raw primary data and understanding the calculated gamut via different profiling workflows would all have their own stories to tell, both about the device and the workflow elements. No?

>>We are so ICC focused that the first thing we think of is building a profile, and then using the return table from that profile to view the theoretical gamut. But that misses the obvious: that the primaries can be compared as raw color values on screen (255, 0, 0/ 0, 255, 0/ 0, 0, 255), without the several layers of processing that the profile comparison method involves. Simply: how red a red, how green a green, and how blue a blue can this monitor produce, without the complications of all the other stuff. Since the Cap Y basicly describes monitor luminance, these values can be compared as little x, little y values.
