Set Analysis forces chart to display data disregarding filters

I have run across this issue before:

I have a chart that shows data for restricted by set analysis in the expression definition, for example:

Sum({<Category={"A","B"}>} Sales)

If a user then uses a filter to attempt to only display Category A, the chart ignores the filter.

My solution has always been to add a new field in script that captures those two categories as one, for example CatAB='Y'.
I can then modify the expression to Sum({<CatAB={"Y"}>} Sales) and now it respects the user filtering by Category.

Is there no other simpler way to handle this?  I'm still not clear on why set analysis behaves this way.  Seems a bit overbearing.
