I eagerly await your patch to correct this "mistake"! (See my previous
email to Patrik).

See, this is where you're not quite right. Gnucash really is a little
schizophrenic here; it's not sure if it wants to be a Personal finance
program or a Small Business finance program. It's really trying to be
both. It's NOT trying to "transition" to being ONLY a business finance
program.
Having said that; the business features SHOULD be better; but I have
no time to work on them and nobody else has really come forward to
spend the many man-months of effort required to bring it up to snuff.
But no, as a whole, I cannot say that gnucash is transitioning as you
suggest it is. Sorry.
