If you're using Windows, that's what you describe is how Microsoft intended audio volume to work. And no, VLC does not change the system volume; rather Windows changes the system volume to match the loudest application. See the Windows mixer for a concrete visualization.

Because VLC did not use Windows volume, so it was slow, prone to saturation and did not play nice with the mixer UI.
