This is because gnucash _does not support inventory_.
FWIW, inventory accounts SHOULD be more similar to stock/mutual than
to Asset. You want to keep track of the number of widgets in your
inventory, and AT THE SAME TIME you want to keep track of how much you
PAID for those widgets. Stock/mutual accounts are exactly the right
abstraction.
