The built-in API for components tends to be lackluster as it uses Bungee components (net.md_5.bungee.api.chat.BaseComponent), which was made for the Bungeecord proxy and reused for servers. It's probably one of the weaker APIs that was never adapted to support modern components everywhere. A modern featured plugin would typically try to use something like Adventure which does support components everywhere Minecraft supports them, including boss bars and titles. MiniMessage is also a format that is more mainstream in popular plugins for user configuration of messages.
In terms of having something that is purely a representation of components available with API though, and will stand the test of time without needing much maintenance, this PR achieves that.
Chat component support for really anything with Chat messages, use toLegacyText for Title and Boss messages since there doesn't appear to be a component API for them.
