It's the default application for the host.

> b) why would someone want to deploy their app to this location

So that end users can use just the host name, and don't have to know an
app name.

> c) what are the consequences of such a deployment? any?

Loss of the standard Tomcat welcome page is about it.

This is the recommended way of deploying the default app for a given
host.
