Because in many cases, we won't need a symbol for each package. For
example, one chip might very well have the same pinout between its
SOIC-8 and TSOP-8 variant.
Well. Some people appreciate KiCad for its flexibility in libraries.
Always, using CvPcb they can assign a footprint which they want.
Unfortunately for me, this flexibility is not so good. In the case of
discrete elements: yes, but in the case of integrated circuits is the
first step in making mistakes.
I prefer the method: take the right symbol and forget. In addition, when
I'm generating BOM list I have at a glance exactly which elements have
to be on board and I have less to do during its post processing.
In my point of view, such a high level of flexibility is good for
hobbyists. But we don't want KiCad only as a niche software for hobbyists?
