I think the problem is that Outlook, though not designed as a contact
manager possibly, has just enough in it to raise expectations, but not
enough to meet them ;)
I do find Outlook is lacking when it comes to managing my contacts, but
don't need a full featured contact manager.
Plus of course to most more casual users (which in my mind includes many if
not most small business owners), a PIM, which I think Outlook would class
itself as, is really no different to a contact manager. Contacts are
personal information, and so a Personal Information Manager should be able
to manage them!
I don't subscribe to the OP's opinion of Outlook as a waste of space, but do
think it's a very powerful e-mail client with contacts, tasks and calendar
as poor relations. There are many many things that Outlook allows you to do
with e-mails, which are not possible with the other item types for no
apparent reason. Examples would be flagging multiple items at once, search
folders, and dragging items to tasks to create a task (I can do that with a
contact, but it insists on creating a task to be assigned to that contact,
which is pointless for 99% of small businesses, rather than using the
contact as a link and subject in a task for me).
