Yeah I guess heat-shrink would do the job most of the time. But for when you have connectors that are too big to fit the right heat-shrink over or want to splice more than 2 wires together and want a waterproof seal over them this could be useful.

Hot glue is cheap, easy to handle and easier to clean away is my guesses... I would definitely try a silicone gun
