They allow to test different decorator behaviours and this is important
for evolution. It actually open the way for doing things like
stack&tile more easily and in a "plug and play" approach, not requiring
to touch app_server internals.
They happen to have the look and feel of some outdated operating
systems, yes. The look part is for fun, and the feel part is a
technology test and preview.
Note that in BeOS, to enable the amiga decorator you had to use a
message with a what field reading (more or less) 'necro'. I guess it
was already outdated back then :)
