It's no different from using a .wz or a .package
In fact, most of those now days are just containers to bind and compress multiple XML files or files or various formats.
There honestly is no real advantage to it other than it's an actual documented format with libraries to read and write to it and standards.
It's no more or less effective from writing out everything to flatfile in a proprietary format or directly serializing it to disk.
It's just a means of saving it dynamically outside of the executable.
Both of your first examples are true, yes.
You can in fact write full fledged applications in both.
No idea where you were going with the chemistry one, but you can create biological logic circuits, so yes, you could use chemistry to write an application technically.

It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
