You don't need a CAT tool for that. You can just create your own glossaries.

Sure you can, but a CAT tool offers a very convenient way to do just that. With a CAT tool, you don't have to search your glossaries though, nor do you have to actually type in the target term in your translation.
I believe you when you say that you don't need CAT tools, but I see a mismatch between what you think a CAT tool is and does and what it actually is and does.
You don't even need a computer.
