Hi

It would be awesome if custom search fields, defined in propertyInfo, are also available as views field instead of just as filter.

They originally were, but due to some data alterations executing very expensive operations (e.g., parsing PDF attachments) this was dropped. It also might not be possible in the future, when Search API tries to use more of Entity API's Views integration.
If you want to both index and display an additional field, you should probably consider hook_entity_property_info_alter() instead of a data alteration.
