The default `org-adapt-indentation' can indeed be problematic.
One problem is that you typically want planning information and
property/logbook drawer of a headline to be indented, while you
don't want the subtree *text* to be indented.
From master, you can test
(setq org-adapt-indentation 'headline-data)
To get this behavior. I think it should be the default, but
(1) it should be heavily tested first via a major release and
(2) other users may think otherwise, this needs to be carefully
discussed first.
Thanks,
