I really agree, but you will notice that soon after getting some "HelloWorld.mxml" level applications working, many beginners want to start using dynamic data.
And now that Flex pricing has opened up it to any size project or company, many beginners do not come from an enterprise background and are not already proficient in a server-tier platform, and do not have access to a "team" that is. For such a developer, the current hurdle to get data into Flex is very high. Some solutions that do not require learning another language would be very useful to a large group of developers. Maybe they are making their wife a recipe program. Maybe they are doing a proof of concept for their boss. There is a very long way between "HelloWorld" and enterprise application architecture best-practice. Making Flex data access easy is going to help more than hurt.

Handy, but you really shouldn't be using it. The temptation then will be to keep your data access layer mixed up with the view.
