The kernel has its defaults, but distribution vendors such as Redhat/Ubuntu/Debian, are free to supply their own defaults through sysctl.conf or their NetworkManager packages or network configuration scripts... It's interesting to note they have so far chosen to go (mostly) with the defaults. I'm sure most people do not have a problem, or else, someone would have updated the defaults by now
Changing defaults will break stuff for people relying on those defaults. This is usually not acceptable. At least not in the kernel. The behaviour is well documented and easy to change. Whining about the defaults not matching personal preferences is useless noise. Bjørn
