I also can't understand why they removed the ability to use an herb immediately instead of forcing you to store it in your inventory.

 

Because the flow of the game does not stop, you walk over a herb and press a button pick it with the games world still alive up or you don't.   There is no pausing for "Will you take this herb  Yes/No" so no opportunity to ask you if you want to use it instead.

No need to pause the game for that. The option could pop up while the game is still running. You'd just have to make "Place in inventory" the default option so you can quickly pick them up. It would be the equivalent of when you choose Equip, Use or Give when managing your inventory.
