Do I understand you correctly that you mean tab should cycle visibility
in this case?

CURSOR IS HERE
- a list

For me tab is useful as it is, because it indents whatever I am writing
right now.

That could be a list-item or a source-block or a verse.

Org is not just for outlining but also for full-blown writing, and that
would be disrupted if tab were to fold the entry away that I’m currently
writing in.

That said: C-c C-t or M-x outline-hide-body

Best wishes,
