The api is able to extract all configuration properties in a standardized model, regardless of whether the property is actually located in the registry, a custom storage file, database or wherever. Furthermore it lets you add metainformation to certain properties, making it easier to find those properties that will most likely have to change if you carry a configuration from one machine to another. Typical values that are tied to the computer - like IP-adresses, database names, connection strings etc. may need to be modified when the configuration is moved.
