Playing it like an organ is what it's designed for, but, it has to have more than "organ" voices...that's the idea behind this instrument, is it not? To give the organ player more options?
I think what Jazzhooves referred to may have meant that it should be played with your limbs and perhaps some rhythm backing but not a full arranger backing. I see great benefits to both methods of play, and I enjoy them both. The recent convention on European organ playing style is to not have a full arranger behind you. You also need a pedalboard.

I see where you are coming from, although, on the other hand, many modern organists, including Leigh, are using far more
orchestral sounds, especially big sounds like strings and brass mixtures etc.
Of course simplicity is good too.
Can you assign that great cello sound to the pedal-board?
