Funny question for someone who's going blind eh?
 
I keep looking at the send area of the CV and am I seeing things or are the sends sort of ghosted there even though there is not send on that track? This is confusing for someone like me. What is the point of it?

If the send is no active, its ghosted. If the send is active, its not.  Its ghosted to show this is where the send section is. It may be confusing to you, but i do not see it that way.
 
It shows the users where the send section is, so they can right click it and activate the send or sends
