Yeah, and I think it's done like that because BWindowScreen is fullscreen while BDirectWindow can run... in a window :) Maybe there are some issues with parallel use of the accelerant and direct rendering on the frame buffer..., or maybe having access to the accelerant would be bad, as one could change the palette of the system, or change the video mode, which is a thing one shouldn't do if an app runs in a window... dunno. Anyway, I think be, inc. wanted to change some things in BDirectWindow, in a future release (I don't know what's in Dano), because they started implementing a BDirectDriver class within BDirectWindow, which would've probably added HW acceleration capabilities to it. Anyway, I think we have to stick to how it's implemented in R5 if we want to achieve compatibility with it. Amen.
