Yes, it is intentional. SystemWindows by default do not get embedded into other morphs, because they are meant to be top-level graphical objects (that is, direct children of the World).

However, you can always get a halo on the window, and choose “embed into > page” from the halo menu.

Additionally (e.g. if you need this for a demo) you could enable the “systemWindowEmbedOK” preference, disable “fastDragWindowForMorphic” and simply drop the window into the page.

Ah! Two good tricks to know :)
