Yep, that is kind of a key design element for me... and it clinched how I input and plan. If I want to have Omnifocus tell me what to do next amongst a group of related tasks, then I put them into a project. If I truly want to look at the batch of stuff and pick one myself... then the single action list works better. Bottom line is you really can only do one thing at a time, but there are some things that can be more efficiently done together since they involved some startup time to get into the state to be able to do them. Perhaps they should be a Context, I don't know. I'm not sure I want to micro manage to that degree.
