Your point of view is in general correct. However there are situations
were you don't have access direct access to a request and when
changing/fixing the underlaying framework(s) isn't a option. I had this
issue frequently with the 'validation' module of Archetypes. Using
zope.globalrequest as a workaround is in this case a much better than
solution than hacking the framework.
