You're partially correct.

Initially, the \application tag did two things: Set the application
name bold-faced type, and added an index entry.

When reading through the manual, though, having everything in bold
(button names, application names, tabs, drop-down lists, checkboxes,
radio buttons, text field names, menu names, etc.) was a bit too much.
 It made it difficult to read.  To help alleviate this a bit, I turned
off the bold-faced type for the application names.

The \application tag does still, however, add an entry to the index.
