I'm not a big fan of this myself, but IIRC it is an intentional behaviour that was put in place because people wanted it.

Why would anybody want a confusing dialog?

PDF is the only one there that doesnt autocreate a document.

PDF is no longer in the list, and when it does we will be able to edit PDF.. whenever that may be. File Open directly is a shortcut to creating a document of the size of the source file.
