I see your point. Yes, choice would be nice, but I guess with HD space being cheap this is no priority at all for Steinberg. They definitely have bigger fish to fry. A lot bigger. I liked Timo’s responses on the forums, many points of concern were addressed and it seems Steinberg is “aware” of many of the pain points, and are “looking into it” but seeing Steinberg’s pace the last few updates, they move pretty slowly. So until we really see significant changes, it’s going to take a while 
It works currently and you have all the options at the expense of HD space. OK.
