Yes I’m aware of Andy’s involvement in P2 and there are obviously elements of it in play in the activity stream. As you say, it comes across as useless in that context, but not so much if used as a primary community blog for a BP install. Just seems to me it was an obvious part of the solution that would ‘ground’ the community’s activity and provide a jumping off point for users into groups, etc. I can’t imagine it was overlooked either.
