Well, it kind of WAS tacked on, in response to many user requests last year.
I am glad it does what it does, namely allow two (or more!) totally independent leagues to have a postseason matchup. And I like that they can share a draft pool; this is handy for league evolution over time where you might decide to add a new league or change playoff structures with them.
It's certainly not perfect, and as you say better history functions would be good, but some of the things you mention (combined league stats) mean you should be using subleagues rather than associations to do what you want. The idea behind the association is that it is the only relation between multiple independent leagues... think early days of baseball, pre-Landis. The league presidents have that power, and have to come together to discuss/negotiate terms for postseason play etc. That's all the association would cover in real life too, otherwise you'd have subleagues like the AL/NL under the pre-Selig commissioners.
