What kind of scoping do you mean ?
- attribute scoping a la servlet spec ?
(application, session, request, page)

The same reason as in any other application.
Tomcat doesn't enforce or restrict the use of singletons
in any way.

Why should it. After all tomcat is the reference implementation.
Any difference probably spec violation of the other container or
there is a disagreement on the interpretation or something is not
specified in the spec.
(There may be also errors in tomcat that violate the spec, but
regarding your question I would nearly bet that there are none)

Nothing special. They serve the same purpose as in any
other application
