They kind of glossed over the real value, which is using it as a template to automate a step at a time:

"Each step of the procedure is now encapsulated in a function, which makes it possible to replace the text in any given step with code that performs the action automatically."

It breaks the work down into more manageable tasks. I probably wouldn't give it to users until it was done, but putting placeholder functions is a common strategy.
