These in the pic easily include more information/more distinctions than most languages with evidentiality marking as they don't usually have as many categories.

Another example would be adding prepositions to dative nouns. Though the dative case can be used alone and every noun must be in one case or another, it doesn't give you much so prepositions and more are used. The information it gives you is just 'distinction' from words in other cases.
