As far as I remember that was a deliberate feature introduced by Mental, in order to reduce confusion of users seeing a mysterious "root" in every file.

Correct. Most users who did not already have objects there failed to understand what it was.

I think it might be friendly if the logic which appears to say "show root if an object whose parent is root is selected" could be amended to say "show root if there are non-layer objects whose parent is root".
