Good point about setting the pivot point, but - it doesn't quite cover point 3,
because:

I. Once object are grouped, the pivot point will not snap to relevant points
within the object of interest. The only way to set the point correctly would be
to get the exact size & position of the shape (which in itself may have a bit
of a precision problem, see bug 152079).

II. Whenever you want to perform another rotation - you need to perform the
whole procedure of setting the pivot point again. So, even after you've gone to
all the trouble, 

III. The pivot point is not relative to the group, but to the slide/page. So if
you move the grouped object, or if you resize an object within the group, or if
you resize the whole group - you can't even rotate again around the center of
the _same_ object.

So - it is not marginally more convenient, it is significantly more
convenient...
