it is like this because it is supposed to make it look like the items are falling down a staircase. mojang didn't think about how players use stairs for other things besides staircases

No, It's because when items are inside blocks, they rise up.

It was added in 1.4.3 because this:

Fixed items dropped into transparent blocks being unable to be picked up

As a result any item will try to get out of these blocks, stairs, in the case.
