The "centered" in "centered tab" is about how text is aligned at the
tab, not about the tab position in the page -- you can have a centered
tab 2cm from the left margin.

But yes, it'd be useful to have something like a button to set the
position to the middle. (Suggested workaround: deduce text width from
the page margins and divide by two. :-) )

The ones that disappear are the default tabs, which are used when you
insert tab characters and there is no tab defined. As you defined a tab,
now default tabulations are only needed right to[*] the tab you just
added.

Think of it as a way to define the "undefined behavior" of what happens
when you insert a tab character and there are no (more) tabulations set.

[*] or "left to", when writing right-to-left text.
