To the question of "why," I'd think the answer is in the discussion held in the devel@ mailing list linked below. Generally, sharing the storage pool in order to avoid running out of space in one location when there was still space left in the pool due to "bad" partitioning choices was seen as a benefit.

Ah, fix it so that when the system logs run away you can also destroy user data that has not been written yet. Gooood planning. Why bother with defining a separate /home at all? It gives a false sense of security.
