I hope "declarative" doesn't end up meaning "screw abstraction, we'll
make everything as painfully concrete as possible" ;-).

Actions are a nice way to declare a bunch of things that the user can
do, which can later be moved around by the view developer to different
presentation (toolbar / app menu / context menu / shortcut / tv remote
control / whatever). Compared to just exposing a method, Action can
have icon, (translated) text, status tip, etc...
