It is not a design decision but the current state. I want to also support the 
"let's play this file now" use case. I just had not yet enough time to do it.

I am also planning to add a "busy" indicator to show that Elisa is currently 
getting tracks from Baloo or default music directory (as per QStandardPaths). 
If no music is found, I also want to add a passive notification offering the 
possibility to configure the path to use to search music. I even have a task in 
phabricator for that.

I am already convinced that first impression is important. At the same time, I 
did request to move to extragear to get covered by CI and to get feedback from 
kde-core-devel.

By the way, did you build Elisa with Baloo ?
