I would echo this. Adobe has trained a huge number of us that everything should work like Photoshop, with layers and effects on those layers. It makes for an easier transition from Photoshop to Premiere to Slow Premiere (After Effects) but once our minds are warped around their one-trick-pony, it causes many problems. This mostly handicaps users who have a hard time adjusting to node-based workflows.
This particular issue is slightly different: in the professional 3D/VFX world, image sequences are often used instead of videos. There are HUGE advantages to this workflow. If you throw a set of photos at Resolve that have the same prefix and then numbers, it assumes you are doing such work and joins them as a sequence. But it has a switch to override that behavior. I assume Premiere and Slow Premiere also have a similar switch but it defaults to the opposite setting.
Resolve should probably have the switch in the import dialog box itself. It's not a matter of complication, it's more a matter of default.
