I think the idea is that different actions are assigned to different handles. If you grab a handle in the middle of an edge, you only resize in one direction. So if only the handles can be grabbed, it would be clear what's going to happen. But I am not sure if this means that only the handles should work. I would probably appreciate if one could grab somewhere in the vicinity of a handle as well. > This is especially true for the center handle.

If I zoom the image such that the center handle is no longer > displayed I have no way of moving the selection. You could still move it using some modifier key. But the center handle is much better discoverable than a modifier key. Currently, a lot of users simply don't know how to move a selection. If we offer a handle that they can grab, that problem would be solved.
