I agree the current workflow is confusing, and leads to issues, like the fact that it is practically impossible to get an idea of how many people actually attended the conference.
There are some other cases to take into account:
- what about speakers, or organizers, or any kind of attendee that has attendee fees waived?
- allowing people to indicate interest but not pay yet was helpful to get a feeling of how many people might come
- as you mentioned, the are a number of free conferences now
- some free conferences also have a limited number of seats (e.g. hackathons), so confirmation of attendance and confirmation of acceptance is needed
Having registration lead directly to purchase will indeed make the workflow smoother and more straightforward for "normal" attendees.
Adding options to "purchase later" or "purchase only if talk not accepted" (for potential speakers, for whom the registration fee will be waived only if the talk is accepted) would definitely help with the special cases I mentioned above.

Also why someone with an Act Id must register to a conference to be given some admin rights like seeing the list of talks for
the said conference? One can help to select talks without attending the conference.

Andrew Shitov did a good job in the templates of ye2011 to make this a bit more clear. We can start from what he did and try to improve it.
