WebComponents might make sense for complex Applications as opposed to web sites.
Not everything done on the web is a "web site". Or blog.
There are untold numbers of Boring Business Applications that make the world go around. (like it or not...) These applications are increasingly built to run in web browsers. (not necessarily over the public internet)
These types of applications may be large and complex. They might have hundreds of forms, thousands of reports, etc.
Web Components, and other various web technologies might be great for this type of use. This isn't a web site where you want to "save" a "page". The application isn't organized as "pages". The browser is more like a remote smart terminal with a rich set of technologies available.
Next time you check out a library book, or a nurse draws your blood for lab work, or you get your oil changed, look at the application they are using. Is it running in a web browser?
