Your complaint is not justified, because they do and they can, if you only know how to set it so that they do. You see, audio should be free. Only in techno-oriented programs such as frooty loops or Ableton or purely grid-based programs should they automatically snap to the grid, but in an allround recording program like logic it doesn't make sernse to have audio files snap to anything - they must align with what they are recorded with, and in the case of a singer or a player of any live instrument the audio should be recorded exactly at the time it was played, and it should not be moving anywhere afterwards, unless you, the user, explicitly tell it to move.
The grid is primairily for MIDI. However, there are several ways to make audio regions snap to the grid, using the snap settings.

Software is not some kind of autopiloty thing that does everything for you by majjickally reading your mind. You must in fact "operate" it, control it, tell it what to do. It is not some sort of magic (even though, in a way, it is).
