Why PIO does not follow addressing rules ?

I am currently designing a custom peripheral and I have some problems with the data width. My peripheral is 8-bit data width and I would like that the access to a register takes place in the same man...

It's pretty common now actually. SoPC builder has been evolving rapidly the last few years. The PIO is an old component. I'm sure it would be quite time consuming to do a complete rewrite of every component supported by SoPC builder every time it evolved (yet that's what I do with all my components). That's why they deprecated "NATIVE" addressing rather than obsoleting it.
