I am having a hard time imagining a scenario where someone is working on a project and has a large number of folders with still images that they want to condense into one place in the media pool. Try this: organize all of the folders under a common parent folder on the filesystem. On the media page, make sure Show Individual Frames is checked. Find the parent folder in the browser, right-click on it and select Add Folder and SubFolders into Media Pool (Create Bins).
Wouldn't it be better to make the default setting 'individual frames' and for the odd person who wants to import image sequences, make a drop down option that says 'Import files as Image Sequence'? I mean I'd say that there are more people that have been using still images as 'individual frames' in film edits than those who've been importing image sequences, and for a lot longer?
Sequences of images are the traditional format used in much VFX work (compositing) and are produced natively by film scanners and I believe by BMD's cameras that shoot in CinemaDNG RAW? Resolve is first and foremost a tool for *MOTION* image work, so image sequences are a sensible default. That said, I would more commonly want to use it for individual images than for image sequences too, so I agree with @SimplSam that having an option in preferences to change the default behavior is a good idea.
