Actually, it can be used for many more specific jobs.  Basically, any
job that requires understanding of the program's syntax and structure
can use language servers via Eglot.  Someone else posted a longer list
of such jobs:

And the full list is really unbounded (although some jobs are not yet
supported by Emacs, perhaps because they are too hard or impossible
without a language server).

Yes, AFAIU.

It provides an opportunity and infrastructure for doing that.
