I agree with you, except that I would not write "users want" but "some
users want".
At the same time, applications should be given the possibility to override
the current only behavior, which starts displaying at the beginning of the
minibuffer line on which the cursor is. Applications should have the
possibility to give a hint to redisplay that, when it is possible (that
is, when users have not asked for a single line minibuffer for example)
displaying should start at the beginning of the minibuffer (= point-min).
