The comments in that file suggest that this is not a general facility
to execute AppleScript programs, but rather a way to get data out of a
MacOS-specific contacts database.

Am I right about that?

Other systems will have other kinds of contacts databases doing the
same job, and Emacs seems to support them just as well or better.

Am I right about that?

If so, then under the conditions in the node Non-GNU-Only Features of
the GNU Maintainers Guide, this is a system-specific implementation of
a feature that is supported equally well on the GNU system, so it is
ok.
