Ok, so you can combine that into a single command, but in terms of cognitive overhead you are still doing 2 things. In bzr the branch is the only thing you need to know, and HEAD/trunk is no different from any other branch.
It's like the difference between Mac and Windows, if you will. One has 1 mouse buttons, the other has 2, and the first one is considered more elegant because of that :-)
