I've never 'agitated' for it because I'm more interested in linking authors across multiple calibre libraries to a Note Keeping application than I am in linking individual books to such applications.

If I want to keep notes for a book my first port of call is to use a long text column in calibre, if that's not 'good enough' I drop an empty free-standing .ONE file into the book.

If I have 'extra material' for a book that I can't store in the library then I create an EN Note in a Books Notebook and embed the extra material within it. And I link the calibre Book to the EN Book Note and vice versa. The link to the calibre library 'Book' is via its calibre-server Permalink.

I think a book's uuid plays a role in synchronising Calibre Library Manager (CLM) and Calibre Companion (CC) databases - but I'm not sure what purpose, if any, it has within the CLM and CC databases themselves.

And... if calibre had a protocol handler like EN and ON then what would it do, that calibre server doesn't now do, and will (hopefully) do when version 3 is released.
