I have seen the in GAE datastore there are so many entity which at the end are Strings, at least apparently.
List of GAE Java Datastore Entities
I’d like to know the underneath reason for that? indexing? semantic search?

I had the same question a couple years ago. Nick answered it here. The Java classes provide parity with Python, and in Python it’s useful for the special .to_xml() behaviour. It’s possible that when GAE gets proper GEO queries the GeoPt might become useful but otherwise you can ignore them.
