I understand your point - who needs Infrared device, Joystick attached to a sound card, DSL, ISDN, Modem these days? Many modules just display contents from some configuration file (fstab, hostname) without any higher abstraction. So the service they essentially provide is "syntax checking" (without a choice to override).
There is one point about just dumb editors of configuration files: AutoYaST. Getting rid of these modules completly would also mean that we get rid of related AutoYaST functionality. And once we have the AutoYaST functionality, run-time functionality is, depending on particular case, mostly for free. However, I agree that there are modules which are not needed any more for none of YaST's use cases (e.g. ISDN module).
