It lets you pick the console from the scraped list (which is great), but then it asks those things.If you use the launcher as stand-alone (for PC-games for example), you may need to edit those tags if the "Get Game Info" option give you wrong or incomplete information concerning the game. If you use the launcher only for roms, those tags do not need effectively to be completed. But you can use them, if you want, for example, to add information concerning the launcher. Look here how I personally use them :
The "Release Year", "Studio" and "Genre" tags are use here to add information concerning the game systems. Here is the corresponding launchers.xml code:

<launcherplot>The Mega Drive is a fourth-generation video game console released by Sega in Japan in 1988 and Europe, Australia and other PAL regions in 1990. The console was released in North America in 1989 under the name Sega Genesis, as Sega was unable to secure legal rights to the Mega Drive name in that region. The Mega Drive was Sega's fifth home console and the successor to the Sega Master System, with which it is electronically compatible.</launcherplot>
