"Here, have some extra damage to make up for that."
Impact actually has a larger benefit on Lift that Propel, also. Both powers trigger the same 0.3scale Impact damage, but Lift animates and recharges faster, so sees a higher increase in overall damage output.
Honestly I do agree that Lift would have made more sense as the AoE soft control than Propel does, but 1) The devs weren't going to give Grav an AoE control(even a limited one) at level 1 and 2) They wanted to add it to Propel to make it "worth taking" particularly on Dominators, who have better attacks in most of their secondaries anyhow.

Oh I agree, Gravity still needs improvements. Particularly since the last batch of updates really just made Gravity better at the niche it already filled (single target damage) without really doing that much to improve it's overall control. (Dimension Shift is never going to be a go to control power, and the massive KB in Wormhole still sucks.)|

I just doubt we're going to see any more any time soon.
