The discussion is about the _default_ frame title.
Users can define their own title formatting.

How common is the use of multiple applications
(in separate window-mgr windows) for the same
file or directory (or other argument)?

(Not a rhetorical question - that's never been my
experience.)

Wrt your examples of a file or dir, showing the
buffer name should be even more specific, and
even better distinguish from some other app
window for the same file or dir, no?  Especially
if the other app puts its app name first in the
title.
