The issue when trying to abstract problems is that you can end up doing "architecture astronautics"; you concentrate on making generic ways to build solutions to weakly constrained problems without any attention to the details of those problems that make them unique. The solutions that are so produced often have the theoretical capacity to solve broad classes of problem, but are often found to be poor at solving any specific individual problem. By looking at actual use cases we can hope to retain enough detail in the requirements that we satisfy at least some use cases well, rather than wasting out time building huge follies that serve no practical purpose to anyone.
