Philosophically, the whole point of exporting to LaTeX or HTML is to take a plain text representation of lists, checkboxes, etc., and turn it into a nice presentation format. So I don't quite agree that the LaTeX output should mirror the appearance of the org file with a monospaced font. If so, then logically list bullets should be exported as hyphens. My preference would be that the default LaTeX (and html) outputs should use the features of those formats to make the output look nice. Within reason, of course.
