Because it is a List module: it provides the same functionaly to all records in the system.

Sorry, no go. There are use cases when content element must be in sysfolders to be selected randomly (or with certain logic) to be presented on pages.

I see no any real reason for this as well. "Do not implement a feature just because you can" principle.

No, because it is a List module. It manages all records by design.

And how do you plan to manage domain records on pages then?

I do not like the changes because they do not really help in my opinion. They also remove big flexibility of TYPO3.

Sorry :(
