As a quick comparison, Windows doesn't allow you to drag-and-drop items
directly onto an application's taskbar button either and I don't understand why.
I agree with you, if you drag-and-drop a layer onto a GIMP tab (other than the
current image) this can and possibly should be interpreted as "paste as new
layer in said image".
