Primarily, tab is used for alignment (remember typewriters?). It only got the added task of moving between things when computers came along.

So do mine.

No, return/enter mean "accept the choice I have selected". If tab means "go to the next thing", then it shouldn't accept what's currently selected, especially when it means it will accept boolean_t when I've typed bool and didn't actually select boolean_t. BTW, that seems to be a bug that shows up sometimes, one I haven't been able to reproduce. Ever since that day, bool is always the first choice as it should be.
