It's actually super common, both needed to support desktop apps built using custom UI toolkits (from memory, xaml and others actually give you something DOM-like to hook into, but others like javafx don't) and it's also useful since a lot of enterprise software runs within VDI/VNC/... so all you have (at a low level) is a "screenshot" and the ability to click on coordinates or trigger keyboard events.
