Indeed. I don't like it either, but it makes sense: to show the minimal
context around information. What you suggest means to show all top-level
children in the entry. This can be invasive when there are many
children.

Anyway, the point here is that you can use `org-reveal' (C-c C-r) to get
a more regular visibility.
