When a symbol has many units, and units are interchangeable, pins are coupled 
for edition
(because "units are interchangeable" *imply* there are at the same location)

Therefore (but it can be disabled by a tool of the main horizontal toolbar) 
add, move and delete are
coupled, to avoid breaking a symbol and make edition more easy.
However, the shape and texts can be (and often must be) set for each pin.

For "units are not interchangeable", pins are not coupled.

This behavior exists since the beginning of Kicad, and is it really strange?
