@Johnny_Moneto - So as to illustrate, I just recreated the file-by-file import of the same .mid files showing the Sysex tracks created as seen above here.
This does NOT occur with the Reaper Type 1 import. For comparison, here is a copy of the opening screenshot in my OP showing that import (no SysEx tracks created):
As to your feature request, fair enough, I may just do that, but this frustration and issue has been mentioned at this forum before - one example being the thread linked in the OP.
It’s not just my quirky personal pet peeve… 
Put another way, it seems to me that a simple binary technology (MIDI) that predated modern DAWs by decades should not have such discrepancies between DAWs.
Steinberg’s later invention of VST got a pretty uniform integration among all of them, be it on x86/Windows or Mac platforms.
To indulge in some cynicism or just realism, maybe that’s because it and creators of VST/VSTi make big money with VST tech. MIDI is a very tiny market - little if at all lucrative.
Even though a fairly large part of VST’s backbone is MIDI data itself.
