This kind of thing is the least interesting application of AR in my opinion. I want high-quality information overlays about the real world. I do understand that some people just want Starcraft on a coffee table, but it seems like a low ambition for Apple to showcase.

It makes for a compelling proof of concept. Having a lot of individual things interacting with the environment independently is most of what you need, technically, for the high-quality overlays you're talking about. If you can do the former you can do the latter, it's just a sexier way of showing off the capabilities.
