Question:Lists and `/`: Why is does the output depend on the type of the divisor

Only for my understanding. In the following I need to use expand to apply division to list elements when the divisor is a name:

[a, b]*(1/2)

[(1/2)*a, (1/2)*b]

 (1)

[a, b]/c

[a, b]/c

 (2)

expand([a, b]/c)

[a/c, b/c]

 (3)

NULL

Does in this case automatic simplification make a difference between numbers and names? (Probably this is explained somewhere.)
