I think such feature would over-complexify the way encounters would be designed... And would end in a sort of clunky sytem. It's one of the things that on theory sounds amazing but in practice is bound to fail. At least is how it feels to me.

I wouldn't read into that a lot. It was probably just a symbolic thing, especially because it only showed jobs that the derplander was a posterboy for. Well, except the DRK, but then it makes sense for it to change into that at this time.
