Comment (by oglekler):

 There are different possibilities for tooltips usage:
 - alternative to title attribute
 - standalone helper

 We need them to:
 - Creating clean, more modern design in the admin and reduce visual
 complexity and clatter.
 - Providing unified tool to plugins and themes developers for tooltips in
 the admin (right now some of them have their own implementations)
 - Standardizing tooltips usage in WordPress to make sure that they are
 aria friendly and provide expected behavior in core, themes and plugins
