It's probably because allthough very convenient for top left margins full width full height frames, it's not so convenient for frames that are in odd positions and odd sizes : it would require to know before hand the precise x and y coordinates and width and height. How would i know that ? I guess most of us dont compute some theoretical values for these x, y, w and h. We know by looking in the Property Palette ! Hence there IS to be a first item created, that is then duplicated. Beside, its possible to duplicate a whole set of items together, like an image frame and its label text frame. item > create is closer to theoretical positionning like writing some code <xml><allpages type=textframe x=32 y=43 w=377 h=222/></xml> when duplicating is closer to more common, intuitive and art-friendly wysiwyg.
