I don't see why this should be a bug/limitation.

Nothing prevents you to define::
Style Standard
LatexType Environment
LatexName standard
Preamble
\newenvironment{standard}{}{}
EndPreamble
End
in order to get this behaviour. But I don't see any gain from this, as
the problem is rather that
* pressing RETURN in LyX sometimes starts a new paragraph and sometimes
not.
* the editor window does not always give a clear feedback when/where LyX
will insert a blank line in the LaTeX source.

Well, both float 1 and float 2 in the following example do not affect
near paragraphs:
text 1
\begin{float} float 1 \end{float}
text 2
\begin{float} float 2 \end{float}
text 3
Possible problems in LyX are:
* with open insets, it might be hard to spot the difference in LyX
* with closed insets, the user might want to move the inset to a "nice"
location (centered on its own line, say) and by this unknowingly breaks
the containing paragraph.
