The problem with that approach is it means existing blog networks  
would have a really difficult time using the BuddyPress plugins. It  
would force restrictions that previously did not exist. By handling it  
this way it allows both new networks and existing networks to use  
BuddyPress. Creating a blog and account all under one sub domain puts  
a lot of restrictions on the underlying WordPress software - and why  
restrict something so great?? :)

I agree it adds a step, which is not ideal, but in the long run it  
will allow many more people to make use of BuddyPress.

Honoring the "gimme a blog/just a username" option should be possible,  
I'm going to look into how much work that will be. I think that should  
take out a lot of the confusion.
