What exactly do you perceive as artificial use case? It really depends how draw
an object (especially rectangle), where the top of a shape is. Rotating an
object which is drawn horizontally feels 'natural'. 

However if the shape is drawn vertically everything becomes upside down
(metaphorically). A shape having a 90 degree rotation resulting in horizontal
orientation (as long the same doesn't contain text) is rather counterintuitive
without UI feedback.

The problem above doesn't occur when drawing a line. The drawn object has a
rotation set automatically. So if you draw line horizontal 0 degrees. Draw a
line vertically 270 degrees.

So it might be that that's the bug. In which case the rotation handle being a
nice additional feature (comment 4), but not relevant for the problem
experienced here.
