Simple: if the hierarchy is collapsed, things become invisible, and if it's open, the user has to scroll horizontally, which is a bit pain. Further the icons are smaller, and therefore harder to distinguish. This is why it's not the default. It's still possible to use it though, you just have to change the view.
As for the trash, that's just a short-cut. The correct way to do it is from the finder menu. It's an odd short-cut, and Apple have gone out of their way in OS X to correct it by having the trash icon change to an eject icon as soon as you start to drag a volume.
