Well, in the open SVG dialog Gimp gives you the option to merge all the paths into one.
Next, there are cases where you would want separate path elements (to create selections for instance) and since Gimp makes it a lot easier to merge paths than to split them, splitting them by default is the better option, even if there is possibly a good case to have one option with one Gimp path per layer.
Can't answer the Inkscape v.s. Illustrator question.
