There's a school of thought that items in your Inbox are items to which you are not yet fully committed and/or haven't fully processed and so shouldn't appear as actionable. It's really a case of a feature where no matter which choice you make, a bunch of people will be unhappy you didn't go the other way. People who are using the software from a more GTD-centric viewpoint might prefer the behavior where Inbox items are quarantined until processed out into projects, and people who come from a different background might see this as unduly restrictive. The behavior is changing in 1.8, as noted, and if I understood correctly, there will be an option to preserve the pre-1.8 behavior for those who prefer it that way.
