Hmm. would you mind to explain why that is the case, in your opinion?

Because the direct format button are "in your face" and changing a style
requires clicking 1) left click the Style name (assuming the Style bar is
showing and that the user knows how to get to it); 2) Click Modify; 3)
search for the format option in one out of 12 (!!!)  tabs; 4) Click OK

Example for changing a full paragraph to Bold in direct format: 1) if you
are a keyboard addict as myself just navigate to the beginning of the
Paragraph and press Ctrl+Shift+Down and Ctrl+B. Done! 2) if you are a mouse
user just click at the beginning of the paragraph, drag to the end and
single click on the big B icon. Done!

To do the same with Styles you need to select the Paragraph and at least 5
mouse clicks (assuming you know where Styles are) ;)

Counting alone makes one tired ;)

It's one of the ideas I just discussed with Mirek, about mayeb future improvemens in the panel and styles: easier changeing.

Cheers,
Cor

BTW I just added an Enhancement Request so that Sidebar is set per
