You are forgetting that a lot of people use Scribus for professional work, 
where they send the produced PDF to a professional printer who handles the 
imposition.

When printing on an offset press or similar the printed sheet size in any 
case will ba a lot larger than the folder size, so the imposition must put 
several folders onto the same sheet which is the cut into smaller parts 
which are folded.

What you are saying is only valid for people printing on "office printers" 
and similar.
