Here's a simple situation where numbers matter:
Suppose I'm a designer. My client wants a new logo. They give me a list of

How am I supposed to use these colors to make a logo without entering

What you are really asking is how you should use Pantone colors in
GIMP, aren't you?
Pantone colors would be awesome, but I figure it's probably not feasible
for legal reasons. Even so, Pantone doesn't cover every situation, and
there will be plenty of GIMP users who have never heard of Pantone
before, or don't have a book, or whatever other reason.
Those users still need to be able to collaborate, and the least common
denominator is generally still an sRGB triple. Moreover, if someone
says "make an image that works with the colors on my website," you can't
use Pantone with CSS. Again, the least common denominator is an sRGB
triple.
