But there’s no question type to drag into your form simply to provide some text without actually asking a question.

Why would you need that? Perhaps to designate a new section of a form, to provide instructions for the next set of questions in a form branch, or to use at the end of a branch to direct the user somewhere else, like to see another web page, fill out a more appropriate form, etc.
