Yes, I think they have reasoned in this direction. On the other hand if you block the direct user operation in the pdf (as now it is, blocked) you have the control so you can know what page you are in -if you know how many pages the book has-.

And if they want to give us the ability to add notes, they have to modify xpdf, wont they?

Not really, they could just overlay the notes application as a kind of trasparent window. Of course the overlay, if permanently enabled, would block any clicking in the pdf, thus breaking compliance with the standard (not only /launch, but any other /link click going for instance from the table of contents to the chapters, or to the references and back, would fail).
I think there is a part of the pdf standard about notes. I will check.
