If you wish to house rule it, then by all means. But HL uses the official rules according to Catalyst.
o.k. Maybe it was their intent as a revision. I'm not convinced it's a good idea because it makes Mystic Adepts with most of their points in the Physical Adept power side crippled in terms of getting any benefit from spells at all.

However I still think that at the least it should be an option in Hero Lab to let it use the full magic for at least the level of adept powers allowed as the rulebook specifically says that they can. So a new player will buy the book, read it and try and then find out that the character creation tool won't let them do something that is specifically stated as being allowed in the main rulebook.
