IMHO, it's not an inconsistency from the user's point of view: the
minibuffer's main purpose is get input from the user, but conceptually
you are still in the same window and the same buffer. Otherwise, you
couldn't evaluate buffer-specific variables with M-:, for example.

??? I don't follow: the first M-x gives you an immediate feedback,
since there's the "M-x" prompt. The second one signals an error, also
a kind of ``immediate'' feedback ;-)
What am I missing?

I think it depends on the precise definition of ``selected window''.
I doubt that many users are aware that going to the minibuffer
selects a different window.
