RIM has BES server for its enterprise customers, and BIS for its small businesses/home users. Apple had to offer both as well - that being ActiveSync with Exchange or MobileMe. They simply combined their existing .Mac offer with this and re-branded it.
MobileMe isn't for the tech savvy like us, but for small businesses and home users who want push email, calendars and contacts.

It was a nice little addition when they added iWeb to sync simple pages. Sure you can use a different service with iWeb, but it works fine for me.
It was also a nice addition when they added contacts/calendars/email syncing. That has come in handy more than once.
I also like the fact that mobileme has Back to My Mac. As a video edit-freelancer with my billing program on my home computer, I can access it quickly with screen sharing. Or if some files are on my home computer - if it's not on my iDisk, I can easily transfer it from home computer with Back to My Mac.
When you use more than one mac, it's also nice to have many of my settings mirrored/synced on multiple computers (Address Book, Mail Accounts, bookmarks).
I'm just sayin' that I'm kinda' happy that I don't have to go to multiple providers for all those services (not to mention all the others that you brought up).

I sync my contacts and my calendar, and I have online versions of both. It all syncs to my PC through a desktop application that syncs back to Outlook. And it's all free. In fact, it's actually $250 a year cheaper because I don't have to pay AT&T the extra money for "push" data services - I get my email when I check it, and when I update a contact or calendar item it syncs when I check those too.
Apple's gone off the deep end with the pricing for .me services. They can get away with it for those who have more dollars than sense, but I prefer to use my money for other things. Like beer.

It's kind of hard to make fun of Microsoft for trying to sell an OS for $129 saying "well it works now" when you're selling a cloud-computing service for $100 saying "well it works now".
