I agree with you, however, a few years ago when I had no more knowledge of computers, I would not have said the same.
This is not to reinvent the wheel, but to offer a method that many users already know.
Such functionality in PSPP, could be available on any platform, and you have a group of users who would know how to use it and also count with SPJ files they did or their companies gave them, saying, "with that file, analyze X data with Y statistical".
Everything depends on the perspective.
