It was simply the initial design decision since we wanted to support multiple showcase types (often unrelated types) in the same installation and not having enough feedback from customers to determine if/how a central showcase interface should be displayed.

Garage once operated in the same manner until we received enough input to determine what type of index interface to provide. That said, due to the support of multiple showcase types in the same site, I'm not sure that a centralized index for all showcases should be done in the same way. Again, as we gather additional feedback from customers using ShowCase I'm sure the design will evolve further.
