In fact, there are a couple more component callbacks planned for 1.2, as well as some new ones for helpers. As far as the reason why it is there, it was added, as the name implies, so components could do basic initialization. It should not be used for taking any automatic actions (like startup()), but simply so the component can make itself available for use, specifically in beforeFilter(). This way, if a component needs to initialize itself with data from the controller before being used in beforeFilter, it can do this automatically, rather than forcing users to add redundant code to their beforeFilter() methods.
