Steve,
You're right. WFS/Vector resources should be displayed as layers only
if a widget use them (like the edition widgets, as you mentioned).
That's currently in discussion, but it is a fact regardless and should
be added at some point.
Please, fill a ticket for this and report it back here.
Regards,
Alexandre
