I get your point, I don't like to use parameters differently depending 
on their type neither.
But I think it's a slightly different situation in this case:

You always put the value you want to format/render within the tags. Only 
if it's an array or object, you can(!) specify which key/property should 
contain the "main" or current value.

There will be more view helpers that work differently depending on the type.
E.G. the date view helper will be able to format DateTime objects as 
well as string representations, and I think this makes sense.
