At the price charged, I expect the UI design to be tailored for the device on which the software runs. The best UI for a multi-touch touchscreen device (like an iPad) is not likely to be the best UI for a Mac (with or without a multi-touch trackpad) just as the best UI for a device with a small screen (like an iPod touch or iPhone) is not likely to be the best UI for a device with a relatively large screen (iPad). I certainly wouldn't want to be forced to use a crippled UI on my iPad for consistency with a small screen device I didn't own! I can do that for free by running the iPhone app on the iPad. Neither do I want the usability of the iPad to be hindered by needless conformity to the design of the Mac app, which is exactly what would happen if the indentation of nested folders/projects worked the same way, and for what benefit?
