For the first, I doubt it was an actual decision but just a result the natural evolution from Alice 1.0, which was mostly script based, to the more extensive graphics of Alice 2.0. You might take a look at "Story Telling Alice," which does do more with camera work and scenes, to see where the program
may be evolving to. Also remember that Alice is designed primarily to teach OOP, so in partitioning the screen views, program clarity - not ease of graphic manipulation - should (IMO) have priority.
For the second, see the attached for a simple, but fairly flexible, example. It is also worth playing separately with the camera's position and orientation, in addition to the overall "point of view" parameter.
