I thought about this for a while, trying and failing to figure out why it would be better than showing the items in Manage categories. Then it hit me -- if you are using the cover grid then there is no way to select the column and therefore no way to see the item values in the menu. Adding the selected books restriction into the dialogs works around that problem.
This is what I submitted to Kovid, leaving Manage categories showing the items if it can.
