Frustrated....Please explain why you can only Arrange leafs?

Let me start by saying that the 2D nesting algorithm is very efficient and fast, I love it but...

 

I would like to organize my hardware as children/leafs inside my component that would be arranged but unfortunately Arrange will only nest the children. 

 

I find this frustrating and surprising.  Frustrating because I am only finding this out now and I've spent many of hours organizing my workflow in this way. Now I would need to reorganize everything so that the hardware is organized in their own container component.  Its surprising because I expect the Arrange to be a but more feature rich especially since it's part of a more advanced paid extension. 

 

See Video demo.

 

Why is Arrange set up this way?  

 

The example is a proxy project for projects 10x the size so the extra step of searching, selecting and Copy/Paste hardware to the another component is not a practical option IMO.

another example of why it is not a good idea to have bodies and components at the same level in the browser.
