These roughly bi-monthly releases of Directx are essentially Directx extensions, but the package covers all operating systems. If you want to use new games or even some features in certain programmes, you need these extensions to be able to use them correctly or to their full potential. Its a hard thing to rate since its benefits depend on the programme you use. Its definitely not pointless though, and it would be a good thing for everyone to install when they are released. These should be included with Windowsupdate actually! The redistributable is only really necessary if you plan to update multiple systems, or multiple systems and types. As a backup its ok, but since they are released every couple of months if you need to reinstall windows you could probably just redownload then.
It should be noted that its also available as an update only for your system, saving the large download. The first time it is done at all (not including if its been installed before, whether a game or programme has installed it or you've used a previous redistributable) the download is several mb (but a lot smaller than the redistributable), after that the download is negligible since each update is an extension on top of the last.
