A user double-clicks on an applet that produces an InDesign document and
then comes up with a save dialog; they do the same thing from a similar
script in the Scripts panel. Why should the user experience have to be a
modal dialog in one case and not the other?
You're looking at it too much from a programmer's perspective; to a typical
user, that sort of distinction is at best silly and at worst confusing, not
to mention error-prone.
In some ways you have to think of the script and the app its addressing as
being the one thing, because that's often what it looks like to the user.
