I'd not expect though, that it should be necessary to add offsets by hand. What is the advantage of having embedded objects use global coordinates?

i don't know.. i think people who could answer this question is not on this list. i think it, as many other aspects of our heritage, a result of many years of building on top of once simple and robust things, and that build-on-top-without-rethinking process led us to what we have now: once simple and robust solution, now buried under tons of layers, where some of them trying to extend design, and some trying to fix its original issues..
... and some of them there is to duplicate already existing functionality. i guess because people was unaware of its existence or because coding is much more fun than reading and learning code :)
and all of that instead of changing design to something more adequate and simpler.
