Yes, it is ...annoying when someone [Oracle] thinks he is smarter than you and it commands you what to do. The strategy "if index was created then it was created for a reason - use it" makes a sense.
But you are assuming that the application will implement the correct number of indices that are required :)
You should see some of the applications I have to deal with, most of times it is a matter of adding missing indices or removing unwanted ones...and amazing experience .. and don't get me started on missing constraints :D
