That is true, but in this case I think it is a good thing, specially for
new users. I have edited some invisible part by mistake in the past, but
because I saw my mistake I could undo until the buffer was not marked as
modified anymore (I save a lot, therefore this was enough). Nowadays I'm
always careful to avoid this, but having org-mode do that for me gives me
some piece of mind that I won't mess with my precious org-mode files by
mistake..
In my case I don't think I'll ever need to edit invisible text by hand. The
only time I edit invisible text is when performing some search and
replacement in some region containing folded subtrees (or in the whole
buffer), but this works even org-catch-invisible-edits is set to error,
which is great for me.
I don't know which option would be a better default, but I think nil is not
the one (unless there is some performance loss I didn't see due to the
check).
