Hi Thomas:
You are correct - in practice. But it is like this because of political decision by corporates who are paranoid about people 'stealing', their Intellectual property:
IFC was a very 'slim' version of the model - given (under restrictions) to contractors etc. - with just enough info & refs for them to do their work..
But, there should be no need for us to slim the imported IFC down
even further for it to work smoothly in FreeCAD.
That's an OK work-around if FC isn't performing well, but should not be the end goal.
From the point of view of designers and end-users - more, faster, prettier, is generally better.
