It's amazing how popular dust then dust2 have remained throughout the lifetime of CS. The underpass being isolated from the rest of the map was a feature in my opinion because it gave noobs a space where they only had to worry about what was directly in front of them. It wasn't optimal gameplay but new players liked it. Dust2 pioneered what is basically the standard competitive layout - one bombsite with one entry for the Ts, one with two entrances (a short but dangerous way and a long but safe way) and a middle part that both sides fight for control of. Essentially every popular map since is a variation of this kind of layout.
