See, I use "Genre" as a free-form tagging field, for metadata that has no other home. Therefore, they are unique per artist (for the most part) and serve no useful purpose in browsing. So I never want them in my browser; I can set this for the main library, but the values are not inherited. It's like the iTunes team looked at the Finder and said .... "hmmm".
It'd be a misuse of wherever I put the info. The metadata I want to preserve about my music collection is a superset of the metadata that iTunes provides for.

That's what the Grouping field is for.
