"Default" choices embed knowledge and wisdom in the selection process. The reason defaults tend to exist is to appeal as an easy, reliable, safe choice, probabilistically speaking ignoring any specific contextual circumstance. We like defaults with the option to deviate because humans tend to be more alike than we are different and are aware of this fact. Given a lack of knowledge and information around a choice, we gravitate to what we think are our peers choices. We also tend to realize while we're very alike, we do have differences from others and while small, it's important to be able to exercise and customize around those differences. Context may become important, we may grow wiser to make a more informed decision for ourselves and so on. This is why we like the option. Until I'm knowledgable, show me what others choose, give me expert informed knowledge, or have someone knowledgable interpret the context for me but don't constrain me to these because I will grow, I will eventually understand these things, and I will want the freedom to deviate as needed. Maybe I won't need to deviate, but I don't know that yet.
