There are several different workflows and specific snap modes available so that users do not have to rely solely on the _visual_ bounding box for such tasks (geometric bounding box mode, node snapping to other paths, to grid and guides, working with unstroked paths in outline view mode (only setting stroke widths before sending the file to the plotter), etc).

The next major version (0.49) will also respect the current bounding box mode in 'Align & Distribute' (bug #473608), and has other bugs fixed related to the geometric bounding box mode (e.g. bug #825840, bug #452102, bug #190557). 'Rows & Columns' on the other hand is AFAICT still based on the visual bounding box, irrespectively of the preference setting for the bounding box mode.
