I did notice that descriptions are missing for a bunch of the Graph 3D app variables. ...

Yikes! I created that list out of necessity, before the reserved variables were included in the built-in Help system. My list is now very out of date, and has been obsoleted by the Help system. I'll delete it as soon as I get access to my FTP server. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Time flies when you're having fun!

Oh! I like that it is a big list all in one place. I wasn't suggesting deletion or anything like that.

By "obsoleted", I'm guessing you mean the Catalog in Vars — that it is a comprehensive list and that descriptions of the variables included there can be obtained via the Help key. (Am I right?)

Perhaps a possible improvement to the help system is to have the particular variable automatically highlighted in the brought-up help (after pressing Help while in Catalog or in an editor) and have the brought-up help automatically scrolled to show the highlighted word. Some syntax colouring (to, e.g., call out names reserved by the system) when editing a PPL program might be useful for beginners.
