Is it? They're still causing content to change. They'll still get a "thank you for making your first edit" notification. They'll still get an edit-triggered welcome bot post on their talk page. Etc.
Presently, most users aren't being shown this dialogue upon making their first edit anyway, because most ways of changing structured data on Wikidata don't trigger the dialogue at all; using "Undo" on an edit is one of the few ways that does. So, the status quo is "show the welcome dialogue the first time the user uses the VisualEditor, a wikitext editor, or "Undo" to revert someone's change to structured data items", which is quite strange. This way, it'll be "show the welcome dialogue the first time the user edits with the VisualEditor, a wikitext editor" which is at least a bit less strange, though not really not strange at all. ;-)
