I guess you are misunderstanding. The purpose is not to show the popup
menu at the point when clicking with the mouse.
I thinks computer users today are used to menus that popup at the point
for operations that has something to do with the text at point - even
when they work with the keyboard. I have for example used this for
completion in nXhtml:

I think there are other Emacs libraries that does similar things.
