The same happens in any "normal" buffer, right?

Not really, in a normal buffer you have a lot of more navigation power, like scrolling page by page, clicking at the right spot etc. When stepping in the minibuffer history, (almost) the only thing you can do is to press UP.

Of course, I would count this as a minor drawback, not as a showstopper.
