They are, but
1. inheritance is not on by default, you need to enable
if for specific properties.
2. Column view never looks at inherited values. That iswhy it is
not using org-entry-get with an inheritance flag. Column view
only shows and edits properties that are local to each entry.
Otherwise, editing an inherited value would silently
edit it also for other entries.
I hope this makes it a bit clearer.
