What's its point then? Just staying within uci rules?
Presumably, just like the fairing on the back of the Selle Italia Iron which seems to serve the same purpose. At least the tail extension on the Tritone does a job for triathlengers by holding their bottles. I don't know what the point of the UCI minimum saddle length is, though.

Surely the point is for tt bikes and more agressive positions so you can plonk your sit bones in the right place without having the nose of the saddle invading the same space as other more reproductively important stuff.

Pretty sure it is, the back half of the Tritone looks very much like an Arione. I set mine up on that basis (replacing an SLR, but aligning the wide bit of the saddle not the tip of the nose) and it's working fine.
