Although I think the rationale you've presented Matthew makes sense, I know it confused my friend who recently installed Ubuntu.
1. His friend told him he had to install a bittorent client to download xyz. 2. He saw that gnome-bt was already installed but couldn't find the menu item. 3. He asked me for help. It didn't occur to him that if he attempted to download a torrent file, it would auto-magically work for him. Wait... why would anyone assume that?
