I think it is (for the moment) a way to make it easy for them. I think there was not time enough to create a more complex pricing structure.
When I read this

I'm convinced they have a lot of work to do, and that they just wanted to establish a place in this difficult market in time.

AFAIK a phonenumber (allocated in the GSM-numbering space, whatever country - it doens't matter) for a SIM-card, is more or less the same like an internet domainname for a website. They both are "aliases" for numbers. The phonenumber for the Simcard#, the domainname for the IP-address.
So whay they do is simply pointing different DID's directly to the SIM-card, and not a phonenumber.
This doesn't answer these questions:
- To what number can I sent an SMS ?
- What's the CLIP when I make a call from a card that has more than one number assigned to it?
But I'm sure these things will be answered in the FAQ the coming days.
BTW: just minutes ago (12.10 PM) they corrected the rate-table again. Now with a different pricing for Mobiles and fixed lines.
