Yes, it's because the model really doesn't allow it.
A member represents a subscription to a mailing list, so the role is
read-only. You don't change a list owner into a regular member, etc. Instead
you simply subscribe with the new role and unsubscribe the member if that role
is removed. A user/address can be subscribed multiple times to the same
mailing list, but only once per role.
