Did you place this as a database idea? (I might have even voted for it and not remember..)

A reason more to implement SSQ unnesting as an optimizer feature.

Quite true. An Index is the quick fix. Rewrite is better because it allows the optimizer for more options.
Thanks for pointing at the higher perspective, which also shows that indexing is not everything and maybe developers skills  are still needed when automatic indexing is in place.
Generally you just have to consider that a column value select is an implicit outer join which makes a rewrite cumbersome in some cases.

    >As the activity column in the sql Monitor suggests, time is almost
    exclusively spent in this column value subquery:


    Scalar subquery (SSQ) in the select clause is generally a problem
    with large driving row sources. Unlike SQL Server, Oracle
    optimizer doesn’t unnest them, even in cases when that would be
    feasible.

    Many times, I got much better performance by manually rewriting
    such queries by replacing SSQ with either semi or outer join. It
    could be a better solution also in your case.
