Because its simple easy one click? Rather than click, load a page, click 
again?  Simpler, less clicks, less realestate.  Its an easy way of 
navigating between the realms you have to manage while reducing the 
amount of clutter on the page.

Having Applications and Realms on the top bar makes it seem like they 
are separate things that can be created separately from one another. 
This just isn't true.  Once you want to do Single Sign On (SSO) between 
multiple applications, combining application and realm options on one 
page just doesn't make sense at all.  I thought I made that clear.

I still prefer the "Wizard" idea for first time users that was vetoed 
down.  I just don't understand Stian's dislike for this approach. 
Wizards allow you to handhold users and explain each and every 
configuration step.  Now that we can do thick clients again via 
Javascript there's really no good reason for disliking multi-form 
configuration.

As it is, working witih applications is going to be a rare thing. 
You'll create them once and almost never touch them again.  Most work is 
going to be around managing users (adding users and their mappings, 
reseting credentials).

For social apps, there's a good chance they'll only interact with 
keycloak only a few times when they are setting up their app and never 
touch it again.
