Sorry, I didn't think I'd suggested supplying the
URL directly. What I said was "If you only want
one page set as a Home page, you can easily just
open one page and set that."

I'm not sure why you find this so bizarre. If you
only want to set one page as your Home setting, you
have only that page open when you set the option.
If you want more than one page to open as your Home
setting, you have all those pages open when you set
the option. Once you accept the notion that people
might want multiple pages to open when they start
their browsers, it makes perfect sense. The software
would have no reason to assume that you only wanted
the page you were viewing to be set.
