Well, RDSs, holosights, etc aid in quick target aquisition. So a tricked out Armalite/AK sporting an RDS may shoot a more well aimed bb quickly (such as if caught by surprise, mostly for CQB). Magnification sights don't have much of a purpose in airsoft, but they are used to check out far away enemies, positions and other distant information which can be relayed back to a team (ofcourse binoculars do this too).
Redi-mag systems allow a person to swap out their mags quicker in a bad situation than some one who has to dig them out of a pouch. That's definately important in a fire fight.
Too lazy to think of other useful RS/Airsoft accessories.
Obviously not all accessories are going to have a use in airsoft, but think about it this way: We paid money to have toy guns that look exactly like real world guns, so why not complement our expensive toys with accessories that you might find on the real world guns. Hell, we could all be out there playing paint ball instead if we didn't care about the awesomeness of being almost soldier. So even though they may not be practical, they kind of fill out the look and add to the game (plus everyone loves upgrading, inside and out).
