OmniFocus assumes that you're reviewing your projects and putting actions you care about at the top of your lists, using whatever criteria you find appropriate. Due date may be one of them.

The point of project view is to see relationships between actions and figure out how to get the project done. Context view shows you actions individually, so you can just concentrate on getting them done. An auto-sorted view of your actions is completely appropriate there.

We give you tools to sort your actions in project view, because it's something that computers are good at, and it can help you plan. It doesn't constitute planning by itself, though.
