It's just another structured data format. It's used for a lot more than config. It's also how you define commands and etc for Ansible. Like how a Maven project is defined in XML or a NodeJS package has its JSON.

Sure they're still "just" data formats on their own, but what they're used for is genuinely just as important as what it is. I really doubt XML would've held on like it has without HTML being the web.
