Be nice to have access to the return channels from within a rack.

For instance one chain could be dry but on a different chain I want a reverb. Instead of inserting a reverb into the chain it would be better to be able to send out to the projects return channels.

it is strange that (many years ago) they created DrumRacks with their own send effects, and those have the (flawed) ability to "forward" the sends to the main sends.

At the time everyone expected a similar update to InstrumentRacks, but it never happened. That was about 10 years ago.
I assume that the Drum Rack implementation revealed some intractable issues which were just too unpleasant to try and fix. When they tried to encapsulate send/returns into the rack many people asked "where are the real sends". Linking the main sends into the rack probably opened a can of worms regarding latency.
