The plans have domestic roaming included, however international roaming gets expensive. As a customer I wouldn't want to be forced into a plan that includes International roaming if I would rarely use that feature. I just think it is odd that an application can over ride the phone's data roaming setting.
I would compare it to your phone exiting airplane mode because an application wants to access the data network or you have a text queued to send when you enter the coverage area.
